I'm not terribly opposed to this, since we control the definition of
svn_revnum_t. But if we go this route, have we determined what we will
do about APR_SIZE_T_FMT and APR_OFF_T_FMT, where we don't know or
control the value? I suppose it's possible that we never use them in
localizable strings, or that we do so rarely enough that we could just
use "%s" with an argument of apr_psprintf(pool, "%" APR_OFF_T_FMT, blah)
with no wrapper.
Attractive as some variant of (3) sounds as a solution to all of life's
problems, I think it will get us into trouble because no one else does
it that way. (I like the idea of being able to register type names in a
hash and use format specifiers like %{svn_revnum_t}, and we could do
that as a format-string-translating wrapper around apr_psprintf, but it
doesn't seem terribly likely to be compatible with gettext--if it's not
a problem now, then it could be in the future.)
