+  Take a C \cfunction{printf()}-style \var{format} string and a
+  variable number of arguments, calculate the size of the resulting
+  Python unicode string and return a string with the values formatted into
+  it.  The variable arguments must be C types and must correspond
+  exactly to the format characters in the \var{format} string.  The
+  following format characters are allowed:
+
+  % The descriptions for %zd and %zu are wrong, but the truth is complicated
+  % because not all compilers support the %z width modifier -- we fake it
+  % when necessary via interpolating PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T.
+
+  % %u, %lu, %zu should have "new in Python 2.5" blurbs.
