Detailed Description

This module contains the generic procedures for converting values of different types and kinds to Fortran strings.

The functionalities of the generic interfaces of this module are similar to and go beyond the Python join() string method.
To replicate the Python join() functionality, simply call the generic interfaces with format input argument.
For example, to create a concatenated , separated string from an integer vector, one can try,

use pm_val2str, only: getStr
character(:), allocatable :: str
str = getStr([1, 2, 3, 4])

or to separate the items via an arbitrary separator, e.g., _paramone_, try,

use pm_val2str, only: getStr
character(:), allocatable :: str
str = getStr([1, 2, 3, 4], format = "(*(g0,:,'_paramone_'))")

Developer Remark:

Do not change the double back-ticks in

``"(g0,:,',')"``

to single back-ticks in any documentations in this module.
Doxygen version 1.9 has difficultly parsing the code sections with single back-tick when the code contains advanced features of modern Fortran g0 edit descriptor.
