According to https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php, PHP format
strings now support more format directives:

E       Like the e specifier but uses uppercase letter (e.g. 1.2E+2).
F       The argument is treated as a float and presented as a floating-point 
number
(non-locale aware).
g       General format.
G       Like the g specifier but uses E and f.
h       Like the g specifier but uses F. Available as of PHP 8.0.0.
H       Like the g specifier but uses E and F. Available as of PHP 8.0.0.

GNU gettext should support them as well.
