Comment(by danielcavanagh@…):

 you're right it's not pretty, and it's not enough too, because %b is also
 broken (because it too is tranformed to %@) and to support it fully we
 need to duplicate a lot of the cf sprintf code (absolute references code
 and named references are missing too), plus the full generic number
 printing code (precision, infinite negatives, padding, and so on)

 so a complete macruby sprintf has to be written, basically, which is what
 i'm doing at the moment. i've got it mostly working and am just ironing
 out some bugs. i've attached a draft patch if anyone is interested. no
 guarantees it compiles... :p
