// Tinyformat: A minimal type safe printf replacement
//
// tinyformat.h is a type safe printf replacement library in a single C++
// header file.  Design goals include:
//
// * Type safety and extensibility for user defined types.
// * C99 printf() compatibility, to the extent possible using std::ostream
// * Simplicity and minimalism.  A single header file to include and distribute
//   with your projects.
// * Augment rather than replace the standard stream formatting mechanism
// * C++98 support, with optional C++11 niceties
//
//
// Main interface example usage
// ----------------------------
//
// To print a date to std::cout:
//
//   std::string weekday = "Wednesday";
//   const char* month = "July";
//   size_t day = 27;
//   long hour = 14;
//   int min = 44;
//
//   tfm::printf("%s, %s %d, %.2d:%.2d\n", weekday, month, day, hour, min);
//
// The strange types here emphasize the type safety of the interface; it is
// possible to print a std::string using the "%s" conversion, and a
// size_t using the "%d" conversion.  A similar result could be achieved
// using either of the tfm::format() functions.  One prints on a user provided
// stream:
//
//   tfm::format(std::cerr, "%s, %s %d, %.2d:%.2d\n",
//               weekday, month, day, hour, min);
//
// The other returns a std::string:
//
//   std::string date = tfm::format("%s, %s %d, %.2d:%.2d\n",
//                                  weekday, month, day, hour, min);
//   std::cout << date;
//
// These are the three primary interface functions.  There is also a
// convenience function printfln() which appends a newline to the usual result
// of printf() for super simple logging.
//
//
// User defined format functions
// -----------------------------
//
// Simulating variadic templates in C++98 is pretty painful since it requires
// writing out the same function for each desired number of arguments.  To make
// this bearable tinyformat comes with a set of macros which are used
// internally to generate the API, but which may also be used in user code.
//
// The three macros TINYFORMAT_ARGTYPES(n), TINYFORMAT_VARARGS(n) and
// TINYFORMAT_PASSARGS(n) will generate a list of n argument types,
// type/name pairs and argument names respectively when called with an integer
// n between 1 and 16.  We can use these to define a macro which generates the
// desired user defined function with n arguments.  To generate all 16 user
// defined function bodies, use the macro TINYFORMAT_FOREACH_ARGNUM.  For an
// example, see the implementation of printf() at the end of the source file.
//
// Sometimes it's useful to be able to pass a list of format arguments through
// to a non-template function.  The FormatList class is provided as a way to do
// this by storing the argument list in a type-opaque way.  Continuing the
// example from above, we construct a FormatList using makeFormatList():
//
//   FormatListRef formatList = tfm::makeFormatList(weekday, month, day, hour, min);
//
// The format list can now be passed into any non-template function and used
// via a call to the vformat() function:
//
//   tfm::vformat(std::cout, "%s, %s %d, %.2d:%.2d\n", formatList);
//
//
// Additional API information
// --------------------------
//
// Error handling: Define TINYFORMAT_ERROR to customize the error handling for
// format strings which are unsupported or have the wrong number of format
// specifiers (calls assert() by default).
//
// User defined types: Uses operator<< for user defined types by default.
// Overload formatValue() for more control.
