+//
+// The `str_format` library is a typesafe replacement for the family of
+// `printf()` string formatting routines within the `<cstdio>` standard library
+// header. Like the `printf` family, the `str_format` uses a "format string" to
+// perform argument substitutions based on types.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// string s = absl::StrFormat("%s %s You have $%d!", "Hello", name, dollars);
+//
+// The library consists of the following basic utilities:
+//
+// * `absl::StrFormat()`, a type-safe replacement for `std::sprintf()`, to
+// write a format string to a `string` value.
+// * `absl::StrAppendFormat()` to append a format string to a `string`
+// * `absl::StreamFormat()` to more efficiently write a format string to a
+// stream, such as`std::cout`.
+// * `absl::PrintF()`, `absl::FPrintF()` and `absl::SNPrintF()` as
+// replacements for `std::printf()`, `std::fprintf()` and `std::snprintf()`.
+//
+// Note: a version of `std::sprintf()` is not supported as it is
+// generally unsafe due to buffer overflows.
+//
+// Additionally, you can provide a format string (and its associated arguments)
+// using one of the following abstractions:
+//
+// * A `FormatSpec` class template fully encapsulates a format string and its
+// type arguments and is usually provided to `str_format` functions as a
+// variadic argument of type `FormatSpec<Arg...>`. The `FormatSpec<Args...>`
+// template is evaluated at compile-time, providing type safety.
+// * A `ParsedFormat` instance, which encapsulates a specific, pre-compiled
+// format string for a specific set of type(s), and which can be passed
+// between API boundaries. (The `FormatSpec` type should not be used
+// directly.)
+//
+// The `str_format` library provides the ability to output its format strings to
+// arbitrary sink types:
+//
+// * A generic `Format()` function to write outputs to arbitrary sink types,
+// which must implement a `RawSinkFormat` interface. (See
+// `str_format_sink.h` for more information.)
+//
+// * A `FormatUntyped()` function that is similar to `Format()` except it is
+// loosely typed. `FormatUntyped()` is not a template and does not perform
+// any compile-time checking of the format string; instead, it returns a
+// boolean from a runtime check.
+//
+// In addition, the `str_format` library provides extension points for
+// augmenting formatting to new types. These extensions are fully documented
+// within the `str_format_extension.h` header file.

+// buffer can be used to capture arbitrary data.
+//
+// Example:

+// FormatSpec
+//
+// The `FormatSpec` type defines the makeup of a format string within the
+// `str_format` library. You should not need to use or manipulate this type
+// directly. A `FormatSpec` is a variadic class template that is evaluated at
+// compile-time, according to the format string and arguments that are passed
+// to it.
+//
+// For a `FormatSpec` to be valid at compile-time, it must be provided as
+// either:
+//
+// * A `constexpr` literal or `absl::string_view`, which is how it most often
+// used.
+// * A `ParsedFormat` instantiation, which ensures the format string is
+// valid before use. (See below.)
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// // Provided as a string literal.
+// absl::StrFormat("Welcome to %s, Number %d!", "The Village", 6);
+//
+// // Provided as a constexpr absl::string_view.
+// constexpr absl::string_view formatString = "Welcome to %s, Number %d!";
+// absl::StrFormat(formatString, "The Village", 6);
+//
+// // Provided as a pre-compiled ParsedFormat object.
+// // Note that this example is useful only for illustration purposes.
+// absl::ParsedFormat<'s', 'd'> formatString("Welcome to %s, Number %d!");
+// absl::StrFormat(formatString, "TheVillage", 6);
+//
+// A format string generally follows the POSIX syntax as used within the POSIX
+// `printf` specification.
+//
+// (See http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/printf.html.)
+//
+// In specific, the `FormatSpec` supports the following type specifiers:
+// * `c` for characters
+// * `s` for strings
+// * `d` or `i` for integers
+// * `o` for unsigned integer conversions into octal
+// * `x` or `X` for unsigned integer conversions into hex
+// * `u` for unsigned integers
+// * `f` or `F` for floating point values into decimal notation
+// * `e` or `E` for floating point values into exponential notation
+// * `a` or `A` for floating point values into hex exponential notation
+// * `g` or `G` for floating point values into decimal or exponential
+// notation based on their precision
+// * `p` for pointer address values
+// * `n` for the special case of writing out the number of characters
+// written to this point. The resulting value must be captured within an
+// `absl::FormatCountCapture` type.
+//
+// NOTE: `o`, `x\X` and `u` will convert signed values to their unsigned
+// counterpart before formatting.
+//
+// Examples:
+// "%c", 'a' -> "a"
+// "%c", 32 -> " "
+// "%s", "C" -> "C"
+// "%s", std::string("C++") -> "C++"
+// "%d", -10 -> "-10"
+// "%o", 10 -> "12"
+// "%x", 16 -> "10"
+// "%f", 123456789 -> "123456789.000000"
+// "%e", .01 -> "1.00000e-2"
+// "%a", -3.0 -> "-0x1.8p+1"
+// "%g", .01 -> "1e-2"
+// "%p", *int -> "0x7ffdeb6ad2a4"
+//
+// int n = 0;
+// string s = absl::StrFormat(
+// "%s%d%n", "hello", 123, absl::FormatCountCapture(&n));
+// EXPECT_EQ(8, n);
+//
+// The `FormatSpec` intrinsically supports all of these fundamental C++ types:
+//
+// * Characters: `char`, `signed char`, `unsigned char`
+// * Integers: `int`, `short`, `unsigned short`, `unsigned`, `long`,
+// `unsigned long`, `long long`, `unsigned long long`
+// * Floating-point: `float`, `double`, `long double`
+//
+// However, in the `str_format` library, a format conversion specifies a broader
+// C++ conceptual category instead of an exact type. For example, `%s` binds to
+// any string-like argument, so `std::string`, `absl::string_view`, and
+// `const char*` are all accepted. Likewise, `%d` accepts any integer-like
+// argument, etc.

+// these type specifiers are checked at compile-time.
+//
+// Instances of `ParsedFormat` can be created, copied, and reused to speed up
+// formatting loops. A `ParsedFormat` may either be constructed statically, or
+// dynamically through its `New()` factory function, which only constructs a
+// runtime object if the format is valid at that time.
+//
