No, you're misreading it. I admit that my example wasn't great. Try this one:

>>> for n in nums:
...   print(f'*{n=:+<30}*')
... 
*n=0.3333333333333333++++++++++++*
*n=1.0+++++++++++++++++++++++++++*
*n=10.0++++++++++++++++++++++++++*
*n=3.141592653589793+++++++++++++*

Correct. There's a similar discussion in issue36774.
