The grandparent patch fixes all the cases given so far in this thread,
except that «printf --» and «printf -- -» yield an error and "-",
respectively — whereas in sh mode they should both print "--".
I'd tried to split the printf logic out of bin_print() [lines 4648
through end of function] in order to pave the way for a separate
bin_printf(), but with little success.
Thanks,
Daniel
