Documentation for Format strings
Where is the documentation for what is/isn't a valid format string?
From the example in the haddocks I was able to infer that "{}" gets replaced, but is that all there is to it?
@bos Would you consider adding an example of using that example format string to do ... whever it is that this does? The bridge between Params and your various Builders isn't obvious.
[All I know about this library is that @chrisdone's formatting uses it :)]

I hate to be negative but when we say that haskell lacks documentation in general here is a shiny proof :-(
This issue now nearly 4 years old and still not addressed. Steer clear of this library, you'll waste a load of time fiddling around and then just go back to using <> when it refuses to compile
@chrisdone do you still need the dependency on text-format? It seems unmaintained.
@afcowie
I could fold this package into formatting and drop the double-conversion dependency.
formatting-6.3.0 now contains a reduced down copy of text-format without the double-conversion dependency.
