I just coded these both for picolibc; printf required a two line change,
while scanf required quite a bit more. However, it also raised a couple
of questions which I suspect were already discussed, but I didn't find
anything. Should scanf's %i format parse the leading 0b/0B to indicate
binary? Should %b/%B permit a leading 0b/0B? The former seems
questionable as it does really change behavior (perhaps that's what the
above comment refers to?). But, not doing that makes it inconsistent
with how %i supports hexadecimal values.
