Comment (by dlwalker):
Converting a `format` object to a string object can be highly convenient,
but the two object types aren't conceptually and/or functionally
equivalent (or even nearly so). Consider the potential consequences
before adding this change. Maybe the conversion operator could use the
C++11 "explicit" marker, but I haven't considered if that solution would
satisfy anyone.
