is confirmed by `other tests <http://accu.org/index.php/journals/1539>`__.
Tinyformat is quite good coming close to iostreams. Unfortunately tinyformat
cannot be faster than the iostreams because it uses them internally.
Performance of format is close to that of std::ostream but there is a room for
improvement since format is not based on iostreams.

The benchmark section of this readme file and the performance tests are taken
from the excellent `tinyformat <https://github.com/c42f/tinyformat>`__ library
written by Chris Foster. boost::format is acknowledged transitively since
it had some influence on tinyformat.
TODO: SafeFormat, Clang DiagnosticHandler
it had some influence on tinyformat. Some ideas used in the implementation
are borrowed from `Loki <http://loki-lib.sourceforge.net/>`__ SafeFormat and
`Diagnostic API <http://clang.llvm.org/doxygen/classclang_1_1Diagnostic.html>`__
in `Clang <http://clang.llvm.org/>`__.
