/* This is an implementation of the standard sscanf() function, with the
 * following exceptions:
 *
 *   - It returns true if the entire format was successfully scanned and
 *     converted, false if any conversion failed.
 *
 *   - The standard doesn't define sscanf() behavior when an out-of-range value
 *     is scanned, e.g. if a "%"PRIi8 conversion scans "-1" or "0x1ff".  Some
 *     implementations consider this an error and stop scanning.  This
 *     implementation never considers an out-of-range value an error; instead,
 *     it stores the least-significant bits of the converted value in the
 *     destination, e.g. the value 255 for both examples earlier.
 *
 *   - Only single-byte characters are supported, that is, the 'l' modifier
 *     on %s, %[, and %c is not supported.  The GNU extension 'a' modifier is
 *     also not supported.
 *
 *   - %p is not supported.
