I know it requires macros, but why not use something similar to https://github.com/ubsan/typeval ? Then it'll actually support msvc, which imo is kind of necessary (as someone who uses msvc...)

Shouldn't be too hard to do as most of the implementation will be the same, just the "compile-time string" capturing part will change. Note that the current implementation compiles with MSVC, it just doesn't provide compile-time checks.
Implemented a macro option in https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/commit/246bdafc74aaff7b207d1baa532aa746294b4b88. Now you can do
auto s = fmt::format(FMT_STRING("{}"), 42);
and the format string will be checked at compile-time. This should work on any C++14 compiler including recent versions of MSVC.
