Another one is that in C++, printf can get badly hosed when the number
of arguments passed in variadically does not match the argument specification.
At worst, this causes an exception in Python, as Python has a first class
notion of the var args. Iostreams are an abortion, and a poor substitute for
first class varargs indeed.
