I believe the idea with GLib providing replacements for standard libc
functions is to fix bugs and make them work the same on all supported
platforms, whenever possible.  Presumably, if the originals are bug free
and already work the same on all platforms then there is no reason to
create a replacement/wrapper, so there wouldn't be one.  Maybe this is
the case with scanf.
