Bug 1771: support or reserve %q as printf-utility format specifier  Accepted as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1771      

We agreed to revisit this item and updated the response:

After page 3275 line 111227 section printf, add two paragraphs to FUTURE DIRECTIONS:

    A future version of this standard is expected to add a %b
    conversion to the printf() function for binary conversion of
    integers, in alignment with the next version of the ISO C
    standard. This will result in an inconsistency between the
    printf utility and printf() function for format strings containing
    %b. Implementors are encouraged to collaborate on a way to
    address this which could then be adopted in a future version
    of this standard. For example, the printf utility could add a
    -C option to make the format string behave in the same way, as
    far as possible, as the printf() function.

    A future version of this standard may add a %q or %Q conversion
    (or both) to convert a string argument to a quoted output format
    that can be reused as shell input.
