        All this stuff about v*printf has brought me back to a problem
I was trying to solve earlier. Having a terminal that supports inverse
video, blinking and underlining, I thought it would be fun to write some
printing functions to take advantage of these features. For example,

invprintf(fmt,args)
{
        printf(<string to go into inverse video mode>);
        printf(fmt,args);
        printf(<string to leave inverse mode>);
}

This simple solution didn't work. Oh great gurus of such things, what
should I have done?
