Yes and no.

That appears to transfer the responsibility of transcoding to the formatter, 
which may be acceptable for std::format() on std::string or for std::print(), 
because for those, performance and code bloat are entirely unimportant.

The question I want to see addressed is performance when we begin using format 
to replace QString::arg() and thus tr(). We have highly-specialised conversion 
code because this is critical to us and I'd like to see it used. So how do we 
ensure that in those contexts we use our code, which is not and cannot be 
inline?

How do we format onto a QString?
