formatx 0.2.4

A macro for formatting non literal strings at runtime
Documentation
/// Creates a `String` using interpolation of runtime expressions at runtime.
///
/// The first argument `formatx!` receives is a format string.
/// The power of the formatting string is in the `{}`s contained.
///
/// Additional parameters passed to `formatx!` replace the `{}`s within the
/// formatting string in the order given unless named or positional parameters
/// are used; see [std::fmt](std::fmt) for more information.
///
/// A common use for `formatx!` is concatenation and interpolation of strings at runtime.
/// The same convention is used with [print!](std::print) and [write!](core::write) macros,
/// depending on the intended destination of the string.
///
/// To convert a single value to a string, use the `to_string` method. This
/// will use the [Display](core::fmt::Display) formatting trait.
///
/// # Panics
///
/// `formatx!` panics if a formatting trait implementation returns an error.
/// This indicates an incorrect implementation
/// since `fmt::Write for String` never returns an error itself.
/// Additonally `formatx!` returns a `Result<String, formatx::Error>` type which can be resolved later.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Any type could be formatted if it implements [Display](std::fmt::Display) + [Debug](std::fmt::Debug) traits.
///
/// ```
/// use formatx::formatx;
///
/// formatx!("test").unwrap();
/// formatx!("hello {}", "world!").unwrap();
/// formatx!("x = {}, y = {y}", 10, y = 30).unwrap();
/// ```
