I vaguely remember having read that the uppercase versions of %[dox] are just
supported for the sake of compatibility, and that they are likely to disappear
in future releases of `printf'. However, don't ask me where I have read this!

In the SunOS3.2 man pages, uppercase control letters for %[dox] are not
mentioned, either. Yet, I reckon this doesn't present any severe problems
(does anybody prefer them at all??).
