Please read the syntax of format carefully, you will see that my format
class can be used in 2 modes : shot-style notation, or printf.

%p<stuff> is used only in short-style notation. 
We don't care at all about printf compatibilty in this mode.

In printf-mode, %p has the normal printf behaviour. ('pointer tp void'
type specification. The Unix98 printf reference says it prints the
variable in a way that suits pointer, but implementation defined.
currently, I translate %p into << hex << showbase)
