Example / partial fix for printf with math expressions



No attachment, so beware line wrap.

This repairs (printf "%d" ...) but obviously hasn't touched any of the
several other places where bin_print() calls matheval() and friends.
Upshot, math expects to get metafied strings, bin_print() does not (or
at least not always) pass them that way.

I also did not investigate whether curarg needs a known length rather
than calling metafy with -1, but since math is internally going to
stop at nul bytes anyway, I don't think it matters.

Also because the strings are metafied, checkunary() needs some
MULTIBYTE tweaking to get the count right and not split characters in
the middle when showing an error.  Someone who works more with that
should investigate.
