Chip's the original author of that.  I'd imagine he'd be happy for perl6
to use it to.  

However, perl5's sprintf still falls back on the system's sprintf for
floating point conversion, so the problem is still there.

Further, there are other places in the current source tree that
assume INTVAL can be printed with %d and FLOATVAL can be printed with
%f (or %g, I forget which).  Try compiling with gcc -Wformat with
intval=long long and floatval= long double.
