 This crate was created out of a desire to provide C printf-style formatting
 in a WASM program, where there is no libc.

 `libc` is a dev dependency as it is used in the tests to compare results. This
-crate depends on `std` for string formatting, memory allocation, and
-floating-point maths.
+crate depends on `std` by default, but the default features can be disabled and
+the `no_std` feature can be enabled as an alternative.
