feat: Introduce lazy_format for owned formatting arguments#9
Conversation
Addresses the issue of needing an owned version of `std::fmt::Arguments` that can be stored or sent across threads. This change introduces the `lazy_format` crate as the recommended solution. Key changes: - Added `lazy_format = "2.0.3"` to Cargo.toml. - Included `examples/owned_format.rs` to demonstrate creating `'static` formatting objects that capture owned data (e.g., String, numbers) and can be sent across threads. - Added integration tests in `tests/owned_format_test.rs` to verify the behavior, including data ownership and cross-thread usage. - Updated `README.md` with a new section "Handling Owned Formatting Arguments" explaining the problem and solution with `lazy_format`, complete with an example. This provides a practical way to handle complex formatting scenarios where the lifetime of `std::fmt::Arguments` would be restrictive.
