The construction
fmt.Printf("%*d", n, 4)
reads the argument n as a width specifier to use when printing 4.
Until now, only strict int type was accepted here and it couldn't
be fixed because the fix, using reflection, broke escape analysis
and added an extra allocation in every Printf call, even those that
do not use this feature.
The compiler has been fixed, although I am not sure when exactly,
so let's fix Printf and then write
Fixes #10732.
