For you. For your code.

Look, Steve, I've tried to work with you. And I've given you reasons why 
seq_buf doesn't work for vsprintf.c, and more general cases. You have 
not responded _at all_ with technical reasons or discussion, all you've 
done from the very start is lecture me on process.

And, to be blunt, the time to have the printbuf vs. seq_buf discussion 
was months ago. I tried to start that discussion with you, and you 
ghosted on IRC when I started talking about the things in seq_buf that 
would have to change.

Like I said, I'll CC you when v5 is posted.
