nothing similar. When using the GNU C compiler or any other compiler
that interprets calls to standard I/O functions according to the rules
of the language standard it is necessary to disable such handling by
the appropriate compiler option. Otherwise the behavior of a program
that relies on the extension is undefined.

You can redefine the standard output conversions, but this is probably
not a good idea because of the potential for confusion. Library routines
written by other people could break if you do this.
@strong{Portability Note:} It is possible to redefine the standard output
conversions but doing so is strongly discouraged because it may interfere
with the behavior of programs and compiler implementations that assume
the effects of the conversions conform to the relevant language standards.
In addition, conforming compilers need not guarantee that the function
registered for a standard conversion will be called for each such
conversion in every format string in a program.
