    Printf.Format(format_str)

Create a C printf-compatible format object that can be used for formatting values.

The input `format_str` can include any valid format specifier character and modifiers.

A `Format` object can be passed to `Printf.format(f::Format, args...)` to produce a
formatted string, or `Printf.format(io::IO, f::Format, args...)` to print the
formatted string directly to `io`.

For convenience, the `Printf.format"..."` string macro form can be used for building
a `Printf.Format` object at macro-expansion-time.

Convert an argument to a Base float type for printf formatting.
By default, arguments are converted to `Float64` via `Float64(x)`.
Custom numeric types that have a conversion to a Base float type
that wish to hook into printf formatting can extend this method like:

```julia
Printf.tofloat(x::MyCustomType) = convert_my_custom_type_to_float(x)

For arbitrary precision numerics, you might extend the method like:

```julia

# Caveats
`Inf` and `NaN` are printed consistently as `Inf` and `NaN` for flags `%a`, `%A`,
`%e`, `%E`, `%f`, `%F`, `%g`, and `%G`. Furthermore, if a floating point number is
equally close to the numeric values of two possible output strings, the output
string further away from zero is chosen.

# Examples
```jldoctest
julia> @printf("%f %F %f %F", Inf, Inf, NaN, NaN)
Inf Inf NaN NaN

julia> @printf "%.0f %.1f %f" 0.5 0.025 -0.0078125
0 0.0 -0.007812
