Compatibility with C++20 ``std::format``
========================================
{fmt} implements nearly all of the `C++20 formatting library
<https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/format>`_ with the following
differences:
* Types are defined in the ``fmt`` namespace instead of ``std`` to avoid
collisions with standard library implementations.
* The ``'L'`` format specifier cannot be combined with presentation specifiers
yet.
* Width calculation doesn't use grapheme clusterization - the latter has
been implemented in a separate branch but hasn't been integrated yet.
* Chrono formatting doesn't support C++20 date types since they are not provided
by standard library implementations.
