Wrong behavior of string.format

[Egor-Skriptunoff]

C language docs says the following about .precision field in sprintf() format:

If the period is specified without an explicit value for precision, 0 is assumed.

But Fengari raises error instead of assuming zero:

   > print(("%.0f"):format(42.5))
   43
   > print(("%.f"):format(42.5))
   SyntaxError: [sprintf] unexpected placeholder

fengari uses the sprintf-js npm package for string formatting. Can you replicate the issue with that?

Can you replicate the issue with that?

Yep:

$ node
> require("sprintf-js").sprintf("%.f", 2)
Thrown:
SyntaxError: [sprintf] unexpected placeholder
> require("sprintf-js").sprintf("%.0f", 2)
'2'
