I assume it's just a question of lagging behind the standards committees
(vsnprintf wasn't in the original ANSI C standard, and it probably still
isn't part of the standard C++ library). I don't think you'll find many
vendors putting out documents with the word "rationale" in their titles
to explain why their products are out of date. :->}
