Your only user of this is short-lived and can easily just borrow the
strings. I think we should give this a lifetime and use a str ref
instead of strings.

Is there a particular reason to implement `ToString` instead of
`Display`?
If not, a `Display` implementation would need much fewer temporary
allocated strings as it would just keep appending to the same
`fmt::Formatter`.

^ The `.to_owned()` is not needed there.
