Std::format

[topaz bay]

Quick question about std::format.
Why does this work:

std::cout << std::format("|{: >{}}|\n", "123", 5); // prints(|  123|)

but not this:

std::cout << std::format("|{:{}>{}}|\n", "123", " ", 5);

Is it in the wrong order?

The format string is checked at compile time, which isn't possible if you parametrize it with a runtime argument: use vformat in that case.
