+\change
+Signature changes: \tcode{format}, \tcode{format_to}, \tcode{format_to_n},
+\tcode{formatted_size}.
+\rationale
+Enable formatting of views that are neither const-iterable nor copyable.
+\effect
+Valid \CppXX{} code that passes bit fields to formatting functions
+may become ill-formed. For example:
+\begin{codeblock}
+struct tiny {
+  int bit: 1;
+};
+
+auto t = tiny();
+std::format("{}", t.bit);       // ill-formed, previously returned \tcode{"0"}
+\end{codeblock}
