--- Comment #16 from Ben <ben.james.jones at gmail.com> ---
I'd be interested in taking a stab at this based on the new algorithm presented
here: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3192369 .  STL (the person) has been
tweeting about adding this to the MS STL (the library) implementation for
char_conv in C++ 17(?) and it sounds like a big speed win in addition to having
nice round trip properties.  Currently formatValueImpl seems to just call
snprintf.
