Sadly, not quite. There's one in test-date.c, though it would be pretty
easy to convert to strtol() or similar. But there's also an fscanf() in
builtin/gc.c. To my mind, fscanf() is even worse, as you cannot know the
size of the "%s" you're about to receive (the case here works around it
with a max-size specifier, so I don't think it's buggy, but the
contortions one must go through seem...not worth it).
