"pretty much all" maybe, but not all!
See e.g. the examples I have given in the FESCo ticket:
* a printf wrapper for logging which adds a timestamp in front of the
format string, e.g.
log("processed %d items", foo);
which would be printed as
2013-12-06 19:00:00: processed 123 items
to some logfile (using vfprintf with a format string like
"2013-12-06 19:00:00: processed %d items"
concatenated at runtime).
* translatable format strings, e.g.
printf(translate("processed %d items"), foo);
