Research direction

Start by reading WG21-P2587R3 and mapping the existing to_string and to_chars implementation and tests; the issue names no repository files or test entry points. Confirm the proposal's required behavior and the __cpp_lib_to_string value, but note that the issue explicitly says PRs for C++26 features are not yet being accepted.
