/**
  \rst
  This class template represents a character buffer backed by std::string.

  You can use one of the following typedefs for common character types
  and the standard allocator:

  +----------------+------------------------------+
  | Type           | Definition                   |
  +================+==============================+
  | string_buffer  | basic_string_buffer<char>    |
  +----------------+------------------------------+
  | wstring_buffer | basic_string_buffer<wchar_t> |
  +----------------+------------------------------+

  **Example**::

     string_buffer out;
     format_to(out, "The answer is {}", 42);

  This will write the following output to the ``out`` object:

  .. code-block:: none

     The answer is 42

  The output can be moved to an ``std::string`` with ``out.move_to()``.
