snprintf is C99, this is the reason why I didn't bother to implement it.
Adding it wouldn't be a big deal anyway, minor changes (if any) in the basic
_printf function would be needed.

I don't know of any statement in the standard that allows translation of
arbitrary numerical values. The reason why character and string literals can
be translated is that the standard defines a "source character set" and an
"execution character set". The representation of the execution character set
using characters of the source character set in string and character literals
is implementation defined.
