#12776: Add c_str free function to Boost::Format

     Type:  Feature Requests  |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  format
  Version:  Boost 1.61.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+---------------------------
 A {{{c_str}}} function that returns a pointer to a new copy of the
 formatted string would be useful to use Boost::Format to create C-style
 strings.

 Simply calling {{{str(fmt).c_str()}}} is insufficient since this returns a
 pointer to a temporary.
