#10541: boost::format support for Microsoft extension length modifier prefixes I,
I32, and I64

     Type:  Feature Requests                |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined                |  Component:  format
  Version:  Boost 1.56.0                    |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                                  |
--------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 Microsoft's `printf` implementation includes non-ANSI extensions to the
 valid length modifier prefixes:  `I`, `I32`, and `I64`.  boost::format
 currently does not recognize them.

 It would ease migration to boost::format if `parse_printf_directive()` in
 format/parsing.hpp would parse and ignore them, just as it currently does
 with `h` and `l`.

 (Note:  I'd be willing to code the proposed enhancement, if that's
 appropriate.)

 Thanks!!!!
 Dan K.
