[ruby-core:97852] [Ruby master Feature#16779] Add sprintf %q format option

Issue #16779 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


Isn't `%p` enough (which uses `#inspect`)?

Feature #16779: Add sprintf %q format option
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16779#change-85076

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