Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 08/11] lib/vsprintf: allow range of prefix for %pl[From[To]]

Sorry, but yuck. I really don't think a %p extension is a good way to
achieve this pretty-printing (with or without the min/max unit thing
added). Also, this makes it too easy to lose information (since %plX
would round down to X), so we'd neither get something representing the
passed-in value nor something human readable (as your test case { .v =
1097364144125ULL, .r = "1071644671 KiB" } shows).

Is there any reason you try to use every integer rank? from, to, index
and i never take values other than [0..9], right? So unsigned int
(or u8 if you somehow think that would generate better code) should be
good for them all?

And then you wouldn't need to use the _t version here.
