Header soup about pprintpp

[tfc]

pprintpp is a frontend to printf with the sole purpose of setting up types at compile time automatically for you. If this library did other things than that, it would not be printf-implementation-agnostic any longer.

In order to get something that works like your lib fmt example, one would bundle up a specific printf implementation with pprintpp and provide it as another library.

The projects (microkernel operating system/virtualization kernel/userspace) in which pprintpp is used are set up just like you suggested.

@cup you did not really ask a question and your suggested issue that pprintpp does not setup system headers as needed looks like a "wontfix" to me because pprintpp is not designed to assume availability of the system headers that you suggest.

Can we close this item or do you have further input on this?

Hey there, i am closing this due to lacking input. Feel free to reopen.
