I did not know the details (or had happily forgotten them) but Junio
ignoring my comments in [1] intrigued me :-).  A simple test would have
been quick, but "man puts" was quicker;  my comments were not correct.

Just to be clear, and to extend your comment, in case any reader is
interested, this:

	vfprintf(stdout, fmt, args);

can be written as follows:

	vprintf(fmt, args);

And this:

	fputs(s->s.reset_color, stdout);
	fputc('\n', stdout);

can be shortened to:

	puts(s->s.reset_color);

The difference in vfprintf and vprintf is quite obvious IMHO, but not so
obvious with puts.  The documentation says:

  SYNOPSIS

       int puts(const char *s);

  DESCRIPTION

       puts() writes the string s and a trailing newline to stdout.
