// to std::snprintf and std::vsnprintf. The snprintf return value is awkward to
// interpret, and misinterpreting it can lead to serious bugs.
//
// These functions return a StatusWithSize. The Status is set to reflect any
// errors and the return value is always the number of characters written before
// the null terminator.
