Describe the bug
Revealed by libc++ test std/utilities/format/format.functions/locale-specific_form.pass.cpp.
When neither precision nor type is specified, a floating-point value should be formatted as if by to_chars(first, last, value) ([format.string.std]). But MSVC STL uses to_chars(first, last, value, chars_format::general).
Command-line test case
D:\test>type test-format-2.cpp
#include <format>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << std::format("{}\n", 12345678.0);
std::cout << std::format("{:}\n", 12345678.0);
}

Expected behavior
The second line should also be 12345678.
