 ### Support Formatting Macros
-It would be nice to support Rust's formatting macros, too. That way, we can easily print different types like integers or floats. To support them, we need to implement the [core::fmt::Write] trait. The only required method of this trait is `write_str` that looks quite similar to our `write_str` method. To implement the trait, we just need to move it into an `impl ::core::fmt::Write for Writer` block and add a return type:

 Instead of a `_print` function, we call the `write_fmt` method of our static `Writer`. Since we're using a method from the `Write` trait, we need to import it before. The additional `unwrap()` at the end panics if printing isn't successful. But since we always return `Ok` in `write_str`, that should not happen.
 
-Note the additional `{}` scope around the macro: I wrote `=> ({…})` instead of `=> (…)`. The additional `{}` avoids that the `Write` trait is silently imported when `print` is used.

 ### Clearing the screen
