Ichthyostega e518a19435 wrap-up(#985): resolve various leftovers
- replace remaining usages of typeid(T).name()
- add another type simplification to handle the STL map allocator
- clean-up usage in lib/format-string
- complete the unit tests
- fix some more bugs

/** @file format-string.cpp
** Implementation for printf-style formatting, based on boost::format.
** This file holds the generic implementation of our format frontend,
** which actually just invokes boost::format. The corresponding header
** format-string.hpp provides some template functions and classes,
** either invoking a custom string conversion, or passing primitive
** values down unaltered.
**
** Here, we define explicit specialisations for the frontend to invoke,
** which in turn just pass on the given argument value to the embedded
** boost::format object, which in turn dumps the formatted result
** into an embedded string stream.
**
** To avoid exposing boost::format in the frontend header, we use an
** opaque buffer of appropriate size to piggyback the formatter object.
** @warning unfortunately this requires a hard coded buffer size constant
** in the front-end, which we define there manually, based on
** the current implementation layout found in the boost libraries.
** If Boost eventually changes the implementation, the assertion
** in our constructor will trigger.
**
** @see FormatString_test
