        SUMMARY 

    The following methods implement printf and scanf functionality.  They
    are intended to be used to ease porting between Smalltalk and C, and
    for facilitating machine-machine communication.  They are not at all
    intended as replacements for Smalltalk's printOn: functionality.

    changes:
        slight changes to make it work with higher precision real numbers
        (i.e. asking for the precision instead of hard-coding it)

        no need for the singleton - classes are already singletons ready to use exactly for that.
        (no need to use C++/Java patterns here in Smalltalk)

    "Interpret the required number of arguments from <argStream>
     according to the formatting information in <formatStream>.  
     Place the interpretation on <outStream>.  
     The interpretation is C printf(3) style, as described in the UTek manual page for printf(3).  
     <formatStream> is assumed to be positioned just past
     $%, and a complete control string is assumed available.     

     Return when the conversion control string is consumed.  
     Leave <formatStream> pointing past the last character in the conversion control string.

     This code assumes that <formatStream> is formatted according to
     specification, and error checking is minimal.  Unexpected
     results will be obtained by illegal control strings, or when
     argument types do not match conversion codes, but it probably
     won't dump core, like C does in such cases!!!!"
