As said they are now mandatory, because the `B` also changes state
from just "recommended" to "recommended optional". The git message
could also reflect that.
What I noticed after sending my mail, you are also missing to do the
same for vfwprintf which unfortunately doubles the logic, here. A
refactoring for these two functions could probably gain some kilo or
so.

Yes. I have a very generous notion of "friend" ;-)
They all use that same function __intscan underneath, so this factors
out cleanly, it seems.
