Currently your Syntax is

#[fmt("..." V "...")]

And for me this is so confusing, because you have to open, close, open, close, open, .... The string a lot!

My proposal is that you should be able to use Format strings, e.g.

"... {}...{}...{}", x, y, z

Or inspired by Python

"...{x}...{y}...{z}"

What do you think?

I was very confused in the first place, that afmt::fmt actually is meant for parsing. When I first saw fmt I thought it would implement std::fmt::Display and I thought, hey! That's neat!

But only after looking at the sources (and reading the doc 🙃) I saw it's actually meant for parsing a string into a struct.

Maybe consider renaming the struct?
Next step would be to have a fmt macro that implements std::fmt::Display? Because that would be sick as well!
