+Ranges and Tuple Formatting
+===========================
+
+The library also supports convenient formatting of ranges and tuples::
+
+  #include <fmt/ranges.h>
+
+  std::tuple<char, int, float> t{'a', 1, 2.0f};
+  // Prints a 1 2.0
+  fmt::print("{}", t);
+
+
+NOTE: currently, the overload of ``fmt::join`` for iterables exists in the main
+``format.h`` header, but expect this to change in the future.
+
+Using ``fmt::join``, you can separate tuple elements with a custom separator::
+
+  #include <fmt/ranges.h>
+
+  std::tuple<int, char> t = {1, 'a'};
+  // Prints: "1, a"
+  fmt::print("{}", fmt::join(t, ", "));
