The description of is_fmt_numeric states (in comments):
Note that the long double types only participate when long double is actually longer than double (it isn't under MSVC).
However this isn't what actually happens, because std::is_same<double, long double>::value is false even when sizeof(double) == sizeof(long double), as is indeed the case with MSVC on x86_64: https://godbolt.org/z/xdd135a8T
Likewise, std::is_same<int, long>::value is false even when sizeof(int) == sizeof(long). This is presumably why platform_lookup uses sizeof rather than std::is_same to check type equivalence.
I'm not sure whether the correct solution here is to update the description to match actual behavior, or rather change the behavior to match the description.

Is this a regression? Put the last known working version here if it is.
Not a regression
