Features
--------

* Two APIs: faster concatenation-based `write API
<http://fmtlib.net/latest/api.html#write-api>`_ and slower, but still very
fast, replacement-based `format API
<http://fmtlib.net/latest/api.html#format-api>`_ with positional arguments for
localization.
* Write API similar to the one used by IOStreams but stateless allowing faster
implementation.
* Format API with `format string syntax <http://fmtlib.net/latest/syntax.html>`_
similar to the one used by `str.format
<https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#str.format>`_ in Python.
* Replacement-based `format API <http://fmtlib.net/dev/api.html>`_ with
positional arguments for localization.
* `Format string syntax <http://fmtlib.net/dev/syntax.html>`_ similar to the one
of `str.format <https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#str.format>`_
in Python.

<http://fmtlib.net/latest/api.html#printf-formatting-functions>`_ including
