Assuming your interpretation is correct, I have no objection to going
forward with the change, but I don't think this is the right way to do
it. The only reason %% was handled in the code that handles literal
characters is because I assumed it behaves like one, but if it
doesn't, it should just be handled as a format specifier that consumes
space where it can use the existing code that does that, rather than
complicting the code for literals and adding a duplicate of the
space-skipping code to it.
