/**
 * @file format.h
 * @brief Minimal heap-free @c {} placeholder formatter for the logger hot path.
 *
 * @details
 * VLink targets C++17 first; @c std::format is unavailable on that baseline and far heavier on
 * older standards.  This header provides a focused subset of std::format-style formatting that
 * writes through a stack-allocated buffer or a user-supplied output iterator, never allocates,
 * and dispatches via a compile-time type tag rather than a virtual call chain.
 *
 * @par Supported argument types
 *
 * | C++ type                              | Format token | Example output     |
 * | ------------------------------------- | ------------ | ------------------ |
 * | @c signed @c char / @c short / @c int | @c {}        | @c 42              |
 * | @c unsigned @c char / ...             | @c {}        | @c 42              |
 * | @c long / @c long @c long             | @c {}        | @c 123456789       |
 * | @c unsigned @c long / @c long @c long | @c {}        | @c 123456789       |
 * | @c bool                               | @c {}        | @c true / @c false |
 * | @c char                               | @c {}        | @c A               |
 * | @c float / @c double                  | @c {}        | @c 3.14            |
 * | @c const @c char* / @c char*          | @c {}        | @c hello           |
 * | @c std::string / @c std::string_view  | @c {}        | @c hello           |
 * | @c T* (any pointer)                   | @c {}        | @c 0x7ffe1234      |
 * | @c enum                               | @c {}        | underlying integer |
 *
 * @par Placeholder syntax
 *
 * | Token                | Meaning                                     |
 * | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
 * | @c {}                | Consume the next argument in order          |
 * | @c {0}, @c {1}, ...  | Explicit positional index                   |
 * | @c {{ / @c }}        | Literal opening / closing brace             |
 *
 * @par Public API
 *
 * | Function                          | Output target                  | Truncation flag |
 * | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------- |
 * | @c format_to_n(out, n, fmt, ...)  | @c char* buffer with cap @p n  | yes             |
 * | @c format_to(out[N], fmt, ...)    | Fixed-size array               | yes             |
 * | @c format_to(it, fmt, ...)        | Output iterator                | no              |
 *
 * @par Example
 * @code
 *   char buf[128];
 *   auto result = vlink::format::format_to_n(buf, sizeof(buf) - 1, "x={} y={}", 3, 4.5);
 *   buf[result.size] = '\0';
 *   // buf == "x=3 y=4.5"
 * @endcode
 *
 * @note Floats and doubles use @c "%g" via @c snprintf; there is no precision modifier in the
 *       placeholder syntax.  Unsupported argument types trigger a compile-time @c static_assert.
