This is an in-progress commit series to resolve #682 by introducing a much more robust format string mechanism.

Currently, our format-string module is different from and inferior to the benchmark libformatstr from @hellman

However, that library does not do automatic discovery, and does not work under a variety of circumstances (e.g. 64-bit).

Update Dec. 2017: The current fmtstr module still needs to be rewritten. Intermediate work is on a branch format-string on my fork.

You can see the design and documentation here.
