I propose that we close this as WONT FIX as well, for three reasons:
1) There are other ways to do these things and it is not necessary to use
internal I/O to do it. Character strings can be used for format str

I'm sorry I didn't catch the original "bug". I did search but missed the
obvious reference.

This is a dup of PR 20618, which was closed as WONTFIX at the time.
The semantics of variable formats are very tricky (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20618#c1 ),
so this is hard to get right.

Needed for legacy code; internal I/O allows the same (and more powerful) albeit
a bit lengthier.
