For those following along at home, why does format! need compiler magic?
std::fmt::Arguments can only be created by the compiler, as its fields are private. However, every part of the chain above that can absolutely be done in a proc macro.
Although. I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to have an unsafe public API for the construction of a std::fmt::Arguments. I'm not familiar with its internals, though.
