That seems quite doable. I'll try to find some time to look into it. I explored some of the other ideas when I implemented the GCC 7 sprintf optimization (-fprintf-return-value) and warnings (-Wformat-overflow and -Wformat-truncation) but they didn't seem applicable in enough situations (when all or at least some of the arguments were constant) to justify either the additional complexity or the space overhead.
