Nothing, actually ;)
I did my best to establish good upper bounds (with your help at least
one time, I seem to recall) but, nevertheless, I'm still finding 'safer'
the built-in logic present in snprintf and I like the simplifications
made possible by a snprintf unconditionally available on any platform
(both C99 e C90).
Paolo.
P.S. Of course, in the long term Jerry will format floats too without
relying on s[n]printf...
