/** @file format-string.hpp
** Front-end for printf-style string template interpolation.
** While the actual implementation just delegates to boost::format, this front-end
** hides the direct dependency, additionally invokes a custom toSting conversion
** whenever possible, provides a direct conversion to string and catches any exceptions.
** This front-end is used pervasively for diagnostics and logging, so keeping down the
** compilation and object size cost and reliably handling any error is more important
** than the (small) performance gain of directly invoking boost::format (which is
** known to be 10 times slower than printf anyway).
**
** @remarks The implementation is invoked through a set of explicit specialisations.
** For custom types, we prefer to invoke operator string(), which is determined
** by a directly coded metaprogramming test. The compile time and object size
** overhead incurred by using this header was verified to be negligible.
**
** @see FormatString_test
** @see format-helper
