----------------------------------------
Feature #16779: Add sprintf %q format option
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16779

* Author: gearnode (Bryan Frimin)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
It would be great if sprintf format option for quoted string (like golang sprintf),
it's particularly useful to format log for example.

Currently we have to do this:
``` ruby
sprintf("%s", some_value.inspect.dump)
```

I propose to introduce the `%q` format option which allow to do this:
```ruby
sprintf("%q", some_value)
```
