Right. For the moment I only care about verifying that (a) some
translation happens and (b) the PRI* macros work as-expected.
Since we've already discovered platform-specific failures on both
points, this seems like a very worthwhile exercise.

Encoding-specific behaviors might be worth testing later, but
I'm not excited about that personally.
