When converting a single integer to a string is `formatValue` preferred over `formattedWrite` in terms of compilation and run-time performance?
Also, if you do not need to write to a stream or a range and just need the value, `format("%s", value)` works as well as std.conv's `to!string(value)`.
But between the two functions, it seems that the only difference is that `formattedWrite` only accepts the exact values that go on the output range (such as an integer), and `formatValue` has extra logic to convert structs, classes, and unions into strings by calling their `toString()` method.
