partcl's plan here was to have some code massage the passed in format
string to map to parrot. (Although right now, the code that does
string formatting, [format], just does a passthrough.)

I wouldn't recommend changing the behavior of sprintf on the fly, it
could potentially break the standard library, or other loaded code,
etc.
