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

State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended
State-Changed-By: dholland%NetBSD.org@localhost
State-Changed-When: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 19:26:27 +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.
