Problem:
- Parameters cannot be named (for identification on the back end of CIB for instance).
- Existing argument span information is unwieldy; the `tuple`/`type_list` sizes
get big.
Solution:
- Support naming parameters in the format string. e.g. "Hello {world}" has one
parameter named "world". `STDX_CT_FORMAT("Hello {world}", 42)` results in a
`format_result` containing `"Hello 42"` and a list of named
arguments (`type_list<named_arg<"world", int, 6, 8>>` - containing the name,
type, and span extents of the argument).
- Named runtime arguments come out as `named_arg<"world", int, 0>` - the name, the
type, and the index in the runtime arg tuple.
Note:
- While parameters in the string are named, arguments to `ct_format` are still
positional.

Solution:
parameter named "world".
STDX_CT_FORMAT("Hello {world}", 42)results in aformat_resultcontaining"Hello 42"and a list of namedarguments (
type_list<named_arg<"world", int, 6, 8>>- containing the name,type, and span extents of the argument).
named_arg<"world", int, 0>- the name, thetype, and the index in the runtime arg tuple.
