Load the ISO 8601 representation of the specified `object` into the specified `string` of type `bsl::string`, `std::string`, or `std::pmr::string`. Optionally specify a `configuration` to affect the format of the generated string. If `configuration` is not supplied, the process‐wide default value `Iso8601UtilConfiguration::defaultConfiguration()` is used. Return the number of characters in the formatted string. The previous contents of `string` (if any) are discarded.
