:mrdocs:

A class intended to provide access to formatting arguments. This should not be constructed directly but indirectly using one of the `make_format_args` or the `make_wformat_args` functions. Note that this type has reference semantics and users must ensure that this type does not outlive the arguments used in its construction.
