Porting from another library (tinyformat), which allows %s to be used to get the default format for any parameter. At the moment this causes fmt to throw.

It would be nice (and I think straightforward) if %s could be supported for all types in the printf style functions.

Sounds like a reasonable suggestion. This is already supported for bool and should be straightforward to do for other types. However it may take some time till I get to this since I'm busy with other stuff. Perhaps someone could contribute?

Sounds great. I have something working at the moment. Let me clean it up a bit. I'll get a pull request happening next week.
