No idea how I missed them. Maybe I'd filtered, by accident, the search
by a too narrow list of file types.

Thanks for that pointer.

I wasalso  concerned about zero length strings but my brief look at the
code indicated it could cope with a zero length string.
The last param is `const char *subst`.

I've just relooked at the code and it does have a

     if (subst)
        subst_len = strlen(subst);

so it does look safe to pass NULL, though it would probably cause a
pause for thought for readers, and isn't likely to be that much faster
in these format scenarios.
