Oh indeed!?!?!? Qu'vatlh!!! And I recently wrote and allowed out a C++ program
that relies on sscanf() returning n if it managed to read the 1st to nth of
the values that it was supposed to read! Which C's and C++'s do treat fscanf()
sscanf() scanf() this way? And which otherwise, and what do they do here?
