`outputStream::do_vsnprintf` already states that it uses the buffer "if necessary". In the two highlighted cases there is no need to use the buffer, so I would argue that we should just modify the existing `outputStream::do_vsnprintf` logic to not truncate in these two cases as it is not necessary.
