Ah, nevermind.  I didn't realize that - 
qualifierWithQualifierFormat:varargList: was part of the public API  
but I see it now.  I should know better than to trust the method  
summary sections in the EOF docs.  ;)

It also seems like you could do a va_copy() in - 
qualifierWithQualifierFormat:varargList: and then just pass a pointer  
to the va_list copy to  _qualifierWithArgs, assuming there is no  
performance impact to consider.
