Note I'm not entirely happy with this to_string() renaming.
May be append_string() would have been better. I don't know.
snprintf() was just too good.
If you think about something else, don't hesistate to change,
or I can change it myself if you want.

Thanks.

psnprintf() I guess, the intent was exactly to mean that it is indeed
similar to snprintf... dammit, there is already a psnprintf out there
:-\

Perhaps just do it as ->he_snprintf and have the other methods as well
prefixed with he as a shorthand for hist_entry, that is what the methods
operate, besides the string, ok?

Sure, I'll resend.

This is going to be se_sprintf() though, as it's about sort_entry, not
hist_entry :)

Thanks.
