I always liked %m, if the thread is about being strerror(errno)
that is.  The few bytes it requires are no problem and are usually
linked in anyway.  I had it.  But then again i did not support
localization because that would have brought in a bunch of
otherwise useless dependencies, effectively turning %m into
a developer in-debug-phase only thing.
