http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt_format_specification_fields_.2d_.printf_and_wprintf_functions.asp
doesn't tell *anything*.

http://poli.cs.vsb.cz/c/help/alloc0.htm
has a "note the F modifier", which might hint that it is being used to indicate
a "far" pointer...

http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:_wVnYKwdJh0J:icon.dyu.ac.kr/clib/farheapwalk.pdf+printf+Fp+heapwalk&hl=de
strongly suggests the same...

And
http://poli.cs.vsb.cz/c/help/alloc0.htm
as well, except that it even uses "Fs"!

Do we even have to do anything on "F"?
"far" is long gone, right? As such simply silently ignore "F", right?
