the variable "spec" is either set to a string followed by a space, or an empty
string. This seems like a good way to be able to create a correct error message
when there is a valid string to print but avoid an extra space when not. But
when actually used in a message a few lines below, this feature is not taken
advantage of, and the specifier is followed by a space regardless. That will
make two spaces if there is a valid string, and one useless space when "spec"
is empty.
Unless I miss something the message string should begin "%sspecifier at %L not
…"
