I belive it indexes with a single char into an array right now, but
that is just a matter of string parsing, {...} is not hard to do.

Bear in mind that using extensions force you to disable the GCC
format checks, a heavy cost to bear.

Also bear in mind that any work on this should keep an eye on, and if
at all possible collaborate with GLIBC for maximum compatibility.
