This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Technically correct; the best kind of correct. This was a bit of weirdness caused by whenever the printf() and sprintf() examples were originally merged, clearly.
