On this subject, I'm nearly convinced that we need printf and fprintf
wrappers that call fseterr when necessary.  That would be cleaner and
more maintainable than doing s/printf/xprintf/ everywhere.
Which means I shouldn't even bother with this just-created xprintf module.

Anyone disagree?

Bruno, since you own the printf and fprintf modules,
how do you feel about using them to do that?
I suppose the vprintf and vfprintf functions should be covered, too.
