At the moment sprintf or itoa is it, though I intend to write a set of
toString() functions.

Oh, you're using DLI; just use:

    char [] str = fmt ("%s", value);

It works on all values (%s, that is - giving the wrong format code to a 
type merely falls back on the default).  I thought the question was 
converting from strings to numbers.

The result is allocated, but you could have:

    char [] statfmt (char [] format, generic [] args...)
    {
        static char [] buffer;
        char [] result;

        result = fmt (format, args...);
        if (result.length > buffer.length)
            buffer.length = result.length;
        buffer [ .. result.length] = result;
        delete result;
        return buffer [ .. result.length];
    }
