- syntax for a format placeholder: 
%[parameter][flags][width][.precision][length]type 
To keep things simple we can go with the subset of the following options to build an minimum viable product
- Type field:
- '%'
 - 'd' 'i'
 - 'u'
 - 'f' 'F'
 -  
'g' 'G' - 'x' 'X'
 - 'o'
 - 's'
 - 'c'
 - 'p'
 
 - Length field:
- The field may be omitted (default, current behaviour)
 - 'l': 4 bytes same as 'not-specified'
 - 'll': 8 bytes
 -  
'L': 96 bits? or bits?- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_double#Implementations
 - https://godbolt.org/z/EME3zdcjG => 
12 bytes == 96 bits 
 - 'z': 4 bytes same as 'not-specified'
 
 - Flags field:
- The field may be omitted (default, current behaviour)
 - '-' minus
 - '+' plus
 - ' ' space
 - '0'
 
 - Width field:
- The field may be omitted (default, current behaviour)
 - or a numeric integer value
 -  or a dynamic value when passed as another argument when indicated by an asterisk 
*. 
 - Precision field:
- The field may be omitted (default, current behaviour)
