Passing a function pointer to fmt::ptr results in:
In file included from /home/mac/git/fmt/test/gmock/gmock.h:238,

format("{}", fmt::ptr(function_pointer_test)));
with GCC and Clang. Let's add an overload to support that usage.
Unfortunately, MSVC would
consider the overload to be ambiguous for unknown reasons:
D:\a\fmt\fmt\test\format-test.cc(1485,1): error C2668: 'fmt::v7::ptr': ambiguous call to overloaded function [D:\a\fmt\build\test\format-test.vcxproj]

]

]
D:\a\fmt\fmt\test\format-test.cc(1486,1): message : while trying to match the argument list '(overloaded-function)' [D:\a\fmt\build\test\format-test.vcxproj]
but luckily this means that the overload is unnecessary in that case
anyway, so we can just make it conditional.
* Trying to clear ambiguous compile time claims
Documentation was a bit misleading.
Many people assume that fmt does compile time checks by default, while it requires the use of `FMT_STRING`.
It was also unclear that FMT_COMPILE does the same checks.
