/// -  ball::RecordStringFormatter: `printf`-style formatter for log records
///
/// @see  ball_record, ball_recordattributes
///
/// # Description {#ball_recordstringformatter-description}
/// This component provides a value-semantic function-object class,
/// `ball::RecordStringFormatter`, that is used to format log records according
/// to a `printf`-style format specification (see "Record Format Specification"
/// below).  A format specification and a timestamp offset (in the form of a
/// `bdlt::DatetimeInterval`) are optionally supplied upon construction of a
/// `ball::RecordStringFormatter` object (or simply "record formatter").  If a
/// format specification is not supplied, a default one (defined below) is used.
/// If a timestamp offset is not supplied, it defaults to 0.  Both the format
/// specification and timestamp offset of a record formatter can be modified
/// following construction.
///
/// An overloaded `operator()` is defined for `ball::RecordStringFormatter` that
/// takes a `ball::Record` and an `bsl::ostream` as arguments.  This method
/// formats the given record according to the format specification of the record
/// formatter and outputs the result to the given stream.  Additionally, each
/// timestamp indicated in the format specification is biased by the timestamp
/// offset of the record formatter prior to outputting it to the stream.  This
/// facilitates the logging of records in local time, if desired, in the event
/// that the timestamp attribute of records are in UTC.
///
/// ## Record Format Specification {#ball_recordstringformatter-record-format-specification}
///
///
/// The following table lists the `printf`-style (`%`-prefixed) conversion
/// specifications, including their expansions, that are recognized within the
/// format specification of a record formatter:
/// @code
/// %d - timestamp in 'DDMonYYYY_HH:MM:SS.mmm' format (27AUG2007_16:09:46.161)
/// %D - timestamp in 'DDMonYYYY_HH:MM:SS.mmmuuu' format
///                                                 (27AUG2007_16:09:46.161324)
/// %dtz - timestamp in 'DDMonYYYY_HH:MM:SS.mmm(+|-)HHMM' format
///                                               (27AUG2007_16:09:46.161+0000)
/// %Dtz - timestamp in 'DDMonYYYY_HH:MM:SS.mmmuuu(+|-)HHMM' format
///                                            (27AUG2007_16:09:46.161324+0000)
/// %i - timestamp in ISO 8601 format (without the millisecond or microsecond
///                                    fields)
/// %I - timestamp in ISO 8601 format (*with* the millisecond field)
/// %O - timestamp in ISO 8601 format (*with* the millisecond and microsecond
///                                    fields)
/// %p - process Id
/// %t - thread Id
/// %T - thread Id in hex
/// %s - severity
/// %f - filename (as provided by '__FILE__')
/// %F - filename abbreviated (basename of '__FILE__' only)
/// %l - line number (as provided by '__LINE__')
/// %c - category name
/// %m - log message
/// %x - log message with non-printable characters in hex
/// %X - log message entirely in hex
/// %u - user-defined fields
/// %% - single '%' character
/// %A - log all the attributes of the record
/// %a - log only those attributes not already logged by the %a[name] or
///      %av[name] specifier(s)
/// %a[name] - log an attribute with the specified 'name' as "name=value",
///      log nothing if the attribute with the specified 'name' is not found
/// %av[name] - log only the value of an attribute with the specified 'name',
///      log nothing if the attribute with the specified 'name' is not found
/// @endcode
/// (Note that `%F` is used to indicate the shortened form of `__FILE__` rather
/// than `%f` because `%f` was given its current interpretation in an earlier
/// version of this component.)
///
/// In addition, the following '\'-escape sequences are interpolated in the
/// formatted output as indicated when they occur in the format specification:
/// @code
/// \n - newline character
/// \t - tab character
/// \\ - single '\' character
/// @endcode
/// Any other text included in the format specification of the record formatter
/// is output verbatim.
///
/// When not supplied at construction, the default format specification of a
/// record formatter is:
/// @code
/// "\n%d %p:%t %s %f:%l %c %m %u\n"
/// @endcode
/// A default-formatted record having no user-defined fields will have the
/// following appearance:
/// @code
/// 27AUG2007_16:09:46.161 2040:1 WARN subdir/process.cpp:542 FOO.BAR.BAZ <text>
/// @endcode
///
/// ## Log Record Attributes Rendering Details {#ball_recordstringformatter-log-record-attributes-rendering-details}
///
///
/// Log record attributes are rendered as space-separated `name="value"` pairs
/// (for example: mylibrary.username="mbloomberg").  Note that attribute names
/// are *not* quoted, whereas attribute values, if they are strings, are
/// *always* quoted.
///
/// ## Usage {#ball_recordstringformatter-usage}
///
///
/// The following snippets of code illustrate how to use an instance of
/// `ball::RecordStringFormatter` to format log records.
///
/// First we instantiate a record formatter with an explicit format
/// specification (but we accept the default timestamp offset since it will not
/// be used in this example):
/// @code
/// ball::RecordStringFormatter formatter("\n%t: %m\n");
/// @endcode
/// The chosen format specification indicates that, when a record is formatted
/// using `formatter`, the thread Id attribute of the record will be output
/// followed by the message attribute of the record.
///
/// Next we create a default `ball::Record` and set the thread Id and message
/// attributes of the record to dummy values:
/// @code
/// ball::Record record;
///
/// record.fixedFields().setThreadID(6);
/// record.fixedFields().setMessage("Hello, World!");
/// @endcode
/// The following "invocation" of the `formatter` function object formats
/// `record` to `bsl::cout` according to the format specification supplied at
/// construction:
/// @code
/// formatter(bsl::cout, record);
/// @endcode
/// As a result of this call, the following is printed to `stdout`:
/// @code
/// 6: Hello, World!
/// @endcode
