Sorry about the false warning. After looking at those lines
again, I realized that the "..." is the argument ellipsis,
not some omitted code. At first this look like a function
definition to me :-)

Also note that it's not clear whether the "ASCII"
refers to the format string or the resulting formatted string.
For the format string, ASCII would probably be fine, but
for the formatted string, UTF-8 should be allowed, since it's
not uncommon to add e.g. parameter strings that caused the
error to the error string.

That's a separate ticket, though.
