[PATCH 1/1] sscanf: implement basic character sets

[Jessica Yu]

Implement basic character sets for the '%[]' conversion specifier.

The '%[]' conversion specifier matches a nonempty sequence of characters
from the specified set of accepted (or with '^', rejected) characters
between the brackets. The substring matched is to be made up of characters
in (or not in) the set. This implementation differs from its glibc
counterpart in that it does not support character ranges (e.g., 'a-z' or
'0-9'), the hyphen '-' is *not* a special character, and the brackets
themselves cannot be matched.
