According to some older discussion, the plan is to deprecate %[0-9][0-9]
because that'S ambigious at the moment, and support %digits in a later
version of gcc.

(The reason this oh-so-ugly limitation exists is that it is not a limit
you normally hit in real-world-applications, and the linux-kernel drives
development in that part of the compiler quite a bit ;)
