All right. I guess I wasn't aware that non-printf like variadic
functions are now considered harmful or of the impending crusade against
them :)
But in the context of this patch, can we please use something less
invasive than changing all the arguments around? Promoting h3 to a bool
(if possible) or int/unsigned int would get my vote.
