Oh, right, so there most likely IS a difference between %p and %Fp, since
%p will get shown as 0x12345678, whereas %Fp probably gets rendered as
something like 0x1234:0x5678.

To sum it up:
a) we DO need to handle the F modifier
b) it is probably used to format a FAR pointer (0x1234:0x5678)
c) it should NOT be confused in any way with the lower-case-only float type
   specifier
