> ======================================
> Following is a comment about the behavior.
>
> - The minus('-') is a flag, not a sign nor a operator. So this
> seems permitted to appear more than one time. For example,
> printf(">>%-------10s<<", "hoge") yields the output
> ">>hoge______<<" safely. This is consistent with the behavior
> when negative value is supplied to '-*' conversion.
>
>
> Followings are some comments about coding,
>
> in text_format_parse_digits,
>
> - is_valid seems to be the primary return value so returning
> this as function's return value should make the caller more
> simple.
>
> - Although the compiler should deal properly with that, I don't
> think it proper to use the memory pointed by function
> parameters as local working storage. *inum and *is_valid in
> the while loop should be replaced with local variables and
> set them after the values are settled.
>
> for TEXT_FORMAT_NEXT_CHAR,
>
> - This macro name sounds somewhat confusing and this could be
> used also in text_format_parse_digits. I propose
> FORWARD_PARSE_POINT instead. Also I removed end_ptr from
> macro parameters but I'm not sure of the pertinence of that.

> for text_format_parse_format:
>
> - Using start_ptr as a working pointer makes the name
> inappropriate.
>
> - Out parameters seems somewhat redundant. indirect_width and
> indirect_width_parameter could be merged using 0 to indicate
> unnumbered.
>
> for text_format:
>
> - maximum number of function argument limited to FUNC_MAX_ARGS
> (100), so no need to care of wrap around of argument index, I
> suppose.
