 - show() methods should return the number of bytes printed into the
   buffer. This is the return value of scnprintf().
 
-- show() should always use scnprintf().
+- show() must not use snprintf() when formatting the value to be

 - store() should return the number of bytes used from the buffer. If the
   entire buffer has been used, just return the count argument.
