Synopsis: printf/scanf don't support X/Open positional parameters

State-Changed-From-To: suspended->closed
State-Changed-By: dholland%NetBSD.org@localhost
State-Changed-When: Sun, 26 Jun 2016 06:49:48 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
The conclusion some time ago was that we didn't want positional parameters
for scanf due to it being an unnecessary attack/exploit vector.

Thus: WONTFIX.
(the printf part got done a long time ago)
