Dynamic construction of *named* argument lists?

[suo]

Hey, I noticed in the latest release that there is now a dynamic_format_arg_store, but it doesn't support named arguments. Is there a plan to add such capability? I'm thinking of something along the lines of:

fmt::dynamic_format_named_argument_store<fmt::format_context> store;
store.emplace_back("name", 123);
store.emplace_back("another_name", 456);
fmt::vprint("{name} + {another_name}", store);

Would this be hard to implement? I can take a crack at it given some starting guidance.

From #1584, it looks like @vsolontsov-ll already had some ideas for how to support named arguments. Any update there?

I was going to add support for named arguments during May holidays in Russia. чт, 30 апр. 2020 г., 09:33 Michael Suo <[email protected]>:

Amazing :) Thank you for your effort!

Thanks, @vsolontsov-ll, for looking into it.

And BTW thanks, @suo, for adding {fmt} to pytorch!

Reopening since this still needs to be documented.
