Let's see.  The infrastructure in struct __file is already there, so
doing a fgets()/gets()/getc() shouldn't be hard.  I don't know how
hard it would be to implement scanf(), i'd rather like to complete
printf() first.

The integer-only version with its 1100 bytes is already fairly heavy.
I don't know whether the floating point hooks can be brought in with
little cost (so only the actual conversion functions need to be forked
out), or whether floating point will better be done in a second
function that can optionally be linked.

More tests won't be bad.
