Infinitely expandable string.pack

["Soni \"They/Them\" L." <fakedme@...>]

string.pack currently doesn't accept anything past the end of the format 
string, it just ignores everything.

what if it didn't? what if, at the end of the format string, it read 
another format string?

what if string.pack("I", 32, "I", 64) was the same as string.pack("II", 
32, 64)?

thanks.
