Backport 'printf -v' from ksh 93v-
'printf' on bash and zsh has a popular -v option that allows assigning formatted output directly to variables without using a command substitution. This is much faster and avoids snags with stripping final linefeeds. AT&T had replicated this feature in the abandoned 93v- beta version. This backports it with a few tweaks and one user-visible improvement. The 93v- version prohibited specifying a variable name with an array subscript, such as printf -v var\[3\] foo. This works fine on bash and zsh, so I see no reason why this should not work on ksh, as nv_putval() deals with array subscripts just fine. src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/print.c: b_print(): - While processing the -v option when called as printf, get a pointer to the variable, creating it if necessary. Pass only the NV_VARNAME flag to enforce a valid variable name, and not (as 93v- does) the NV_NOARRAY flag to prohibit array subscripts. - If a variable was given, set the output file to an internal string buffer and jump straight to processing the format. - After processing the format, assign the contents to the string buffer to the variable. src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c: - Document the new option, adding a warning that unquoted square brackets may trigger pathname expansion.
