Hi, would you accept contribution in order to add or modify some feature so they could be used for other types of floats int : bigints bigfloats and custom ones?
If so I would be interested in implementing this (in order to use it in typst)

I had been using Formatter::fmt and casting my integer types to f64 to use it. I just did a cargo update, got told fmt was deprecated and to use fmt2. Saw that it supports any Numeric type. I thought "Great! I can use my integer types directly now, and avoid the cast I didn't want." I took the cast off of a u64 and passed it into fmt2 and was very surprised when the trait bound failed. As far as I can tell, after looking, it appears that there are Numeric trait impls for signed and unsigned 8, 16, 32, and 128 bit integers. Is there a reason we skipped 64-bit? It's the native register size on x86_64 architecture, as well as being a very useful size. I think this is simply missing, and should be present.
