relating to previous work https://github.com/tfussell/xlnt/issues/422
Results are matching what was observed at the time ^^ was being worked on
std::from_chars is included as the target to beat, but since only MSVC has it for floating point it's not
hugely useful yet
uniform real distribution is probably a horrible choice, and it might be good to randomise the number
of sf in each string also (currently the y all end up at max length)
