really ugly imho.
is there a better way to do this?
Functions like format, to, etc. all use toString and constructors when
dealing with conversions to and from string. There is no way to provide a
custom conversion function for them to use with a type instead of what's
built into the type.
I think FormatSpec (and the undocumented FormatElement?) comes close:
