and indeed, in every specification of this behaviour i've seen:

* you're limited to a potentially-small number of $'d arguments, and

* you need to have all positions represented, and you can't have
non-positional arguments.

I was thinking about poking at this, to make our c library do the
right thing, but understanding what had to be done with '*'d format
specifiers hurt my head so i did something else instead.  8-)
