From @gfldex

say sprintf('%f', 1, 2);
# outputs​: Directives specify 1 argument, but 2 arguments were supplied
# Line number of the offending sprintf call is missing from nqp​::die
# in the sprintf grammar called Syntax in nqp/src/HLL/sprintf.nqp .

From @AlexDaniel

Code​:
printf("%d, %d", 1);

Result​:
Your printf-style directives specify 2 arguments, but 1 argument was supplied
  in any at /home/camelia/rakudo-m-inst-1/share/perl6/runtime/CORE.setting.moarvm line 1

“CORE.setting.moarvm line 1” is not very helpful. I was expecting it to point to the user code (e.g. “at <tmp>​:1”).

<camelia> rakudo-moar 91be8b​: OUTPUT​: «Your printf-style directives
specify 1 argument, but no argument was supplied␤␤»
