The Printf walker now parses optional flags + width digits between
'%' and the spec letter:
- left-align (default is right-align)
0 zero-pad (default is space-pad; only honoured when not left-aligned)
Nd... decimal width digits (any number)
After formatting the argument into a base string with the existing
spec dispatch (%d/%i/%u/%s/%f/%c/%b/%x/%X/%o), the result is padded
to the requested width.
Workaround: width and spec_pos are returned packed as
width * 1000000 + spec_pos
because the parser does not yet support tuple destructuring in let
('let (a, b) = expr in body' fails with 'expected ident'). TODO: lift
that limitation; for now the encoding round-trips losslessly for any
practical width.
