Unify string representation functions
Abstract
The recent integration of TS 18661-1 has added string representation functions for floating point types. The added functions are not entirely satisfactory, because they have names that do not fall into none of the established schemes, because they allow for security breaches via dynamic format arguments, and because they do not provide a type-generic interface. We propose to extend the function interface to all scalar types, to close the security gap and to provide a type-generic macro that combines all the functions.
