Defining Range Formatting (virtual)

Description

C++20 introduced a new facility for formatting strings. It also introduced ranges. However, formatting or printing ranges of values remains... obnoxious in out-of-the-box C++. Enter: Barry Revzin. Barry is leading the charge to bring the simplicity of libfmt's fmt::format() facility for ranges to the standard library. And he's here to give us the bloody and exciting details on what that is and what it means to us and our future code.
