You are right, indeed, I was / am looking at the POSIX 97 spec, which
isn't agreeing with the ISO C99 spec in this regard (no surprise, as
it is based on C89)... The %t conversion character was introduced in
ISO C99 and is also in POSIX 2001/2004 (IEEE Std 1003.1-2001), which
is aligned with ISO C99.
Unfortunately, we can't rely on anything from the ISO C99 specs,
since many of our targets system don't support it, and probably never
will (which is also why we can't use inttypes.h / stdint.h, amongst
other things) :-(

Even if it was written in C, unfortunately, it still wouldn't matter,
unless we decide to drop support for certain compilers / targets :-(
