Can you prove this?  Unless this got changed since the late draft that
is all I've got (must get a copy of the final standard, sigh...), the
specs for the v* functions all call for <stdarg.h> before <stdio.h>.
On a quick search, I find no explicit statement to the effect that
either (a) <stdio.h> suffices, or (b) <stdarg.h> is required.
