Description

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt :
{fmt} is an open-source formatting library for C++. It can be used as a safe and fast alternative to (s)printf and iostreams. This project makes considerable use of iostreams, therefore it's highly likely to hugely benefit from the addition of this library. To see example usage, take a look at the Windows Terminal repo.

Define which formatting paths should be migrated and how fmt will be added as a dependency; completion should include the agreed migration and verification that the project still builds and behaves correctly.
