+A missing $$ repeats the latest format.
The \fIn\fR must follow the word FORMAT immediately.
/* FORMAT\fIn\fR $ ... $ */ implies /* VARARGS\fIn+1\fP */; if the format
is followed by more required arguments, a separate /* VARARGS\fIm\fP */
must be given after the FORMAT pseudo-comment.

+If the printf-like heading also has to conform to some varargs.h convention,
