Whether or not it is picked up by the msg* utilities, there is also the
issue of whether xgettext will mark the string as being printf-format
when extracting the string for translation, as well as the issue that
there are existing compilers (at least the older gcc on FreeBSD) that
loudly complain (and thus break a -Werror build) if given a function
marked __attribute__((__printf__(...))) but with no % in the format
string.  So just because the standard allows you to use printf with a
format string with no % doesn't mean that we like that style.
