I think introducing any "feature"
that we already have
(reinterpret_cast<uiniptr_t> + x)
by occupying severely precious
mini-language grammar in the
standard is a waste of design
space. GCC and Clang have
been issuing warnings on %08p
for a long time. Which means,
if we want to flip the impression
of "%p has no flags," the
outcome must be useful enough
to teach. And I believe more
useful things can be done on
0 + p or P, more useful than
saving some keystrokes.
