sprintf, check number of parameters
Dear R developers,
I am wondering if this should raise an error or a warning.
> sprintf('%.f, %.f', 1, 2, 3)
[1] "1, 2"
I am aware that R has ?numbered? sprintf arguments (sprintf('%1$.f', ?), and in that case, omissing of specific arguments may be intended. But in the usual syntax, omission of an argument is probably a mistake.
Thank you for your consideration.
