Problem: - `fmt` uses `std::string` which is not available in freestanding implementations. Solution: - Allow freestanding to use `ct_format` with a limited format capability. Note: - At the moment, freestanding compile-time formatting is limited to string-like things (which includes type names and enumerators) and integral things, in base 10 or base 16. If there are further use cases, we may expand this in future.
