You will always send 2 arguments to the user-provided old function, so
you don't have to care about varargs at that point.

You would just call

   user_provided_notifier("%s", the_printed_buffer_pointer)

IFF no new handler was registered in the context.

Actually, the new notifier may even stop being a varargs, at this point,
allowing for something like:

  if ( new_handler ) {
    new_handler(user_data, message_buffer);
  } else {
    old_handler("%s", message_buffer);
  }


--strk;
