style(9) decoments the uncouthness of long long and %lld by providing
no examples of them.  Unfortunately for my cause, it also provides no
examples of intmax_t.  It is basically just too old to provide examples
of either.

I tried to get [u]intmax_t used, and [unsigned] long long and [u]quad_t
killed, before C99, so that FreeBSD would never use the long long
abomination.  There was a problem printing the [u]intmax_t's before
C99.  I don't remember anything that would have worked except %q, and
in userland, also %ll.  %ll was intentionally left out of the kernel
printf(), but this has been broken.
