It would be nice to call it something else than "printf-style formatting". While it is certainly modelled on printf(), knowledge of C or printf is not required to understand %-style formatting, nor even to appreciate it.
+1. The section is already titled "old string formatting operations" so if this name is acceptable it should be reused. If it's not, it should then be consistently changed everywhere.
