What could possibly be the use-case for intercepting printf? How do you even
know what the mangling of "printf" is (hint: it's not `printf` everywhere)?
And why should the Standard ever consider allowing intercepting standard
library functions?

Do you really want to pursue this as a Standard change?

I think your idea has value and merit, but as a compiler extension, not as a
Standard feature.
