/*
 * I'm tired of doing "vsnprintf()" etc just to open a
 * file, so here's a "return static buffer with printf"
 * interface for paths.
 *
 * It's obviously not thread-safe. Sue me. But it's quite
 * useful for doing things like
 *
 *   f = open(mkpath("%s/%s.git", base, name), O_RDONLY);
 *
 * which is what it's designed for.
