+/**
+ * @brief Convert a string to a double using the fast_float library. This is
+ * a C-compatible wrapper around the fast_float parsing functionality, designed to
+ * mimic the behavior of the standard strtod function.
+ *
+ * This function parses the initial portion of the null-terminated string `nptr`
+ * and converts it to a `double`, similar to the standard `strtod` function but
+ * utilizing the high-performance fast_float library for parsing.
+ *
+ * On successful conversion, the result is returned. If parsing fails, errno is
+ * set to EINVAL and 0.0 is returned.
+ *
+ * @param nptr   Pointer to the null-terminated string to be parsed.
+ * @param endptr If not NULL, a pointer to store the address of the first
+ *               character after the parsed number. If parsing fails, it points
+ *               to the beginning of the string.
+ * @return       The converted double value on success, or 0.0 on failure.
