+/**
+ * Ruby's extended `sprintf(3)`. We ended up reinventing the entire `printf`
+ * business because we don't want to depend on locales. OS-provided `printf`
+ * routines might or might not, which caused instabilities of the result
+ * strings.
+ *
+ * The format sequence is a mixture of format specifiers and other verbatim
+ * contents. Each format specifier starts with a `%`, and has the following
+ * structure:
+ *
+ * ```
+ * %[flags][width][.precision][length]conversion
+ * ```
+ *
+ * This function supports flags of ` `, `#`, `+`, `-`, `0`, width of
+ * non-negative decimal integer and `*`, precision of non-negative decimal
+ * integers and `*`, length of `L`, `h`, `t`, `z`, `l`, `ll`, `q`, conversions
+ * of `A`, `D`, `E`, `G`, `O`, `U`, `X`, `a`, `c`, `d`, `e`, `f`, `g`, `i`,
+ * `n`, `o`, `p`, `s`, `u`, `x`, and `%`. In case of `_WIN32` it also supports
+ * `I`. And additionally, it supports magical `PRIsVALUE` macro that can
+ * stringise arbitrary Ruby objects:
+ *
+ * ```CXX
+ * rb_sprintf("|%"PRIsVALUE"|", RUBY_Qtrue); // => "|true|"
+ * rb_sprintf("%+"PRIsVALUE, rb_stdin); // => "#<IO:<STDIN>>"
+ * ```
+ *
+ * @param[in] fmt A `printf`-like format specifier.
+ * @param[in] ... Variadic number of contents to format.
+ * @return A rendered new instance of ::rb_cString.

+ * @internal
+ *
+ * :FIXME: We can improve this document.
