New submission from Sascha Desch <sascha.de...@hotmail.com>:
It appears when adding auto-numbered positional fields in python 3.1
`Formatter.parse` was not updated to handle them and currently returns an empty
string as the field name.
```
list(Formatter().parse('hello {}')) # [('hello ', '', '', None)]
```
This does not align with `Formatter.get_field` which according to the docs:
"Given field_name as returned by parse() (see above), convert it to an object
to be formatted."
When supplying an empty string to `.get_field()` you get a KeyError
```
Formatter().get_field("", [1, 2, 3], {}). # raises KeyError
```
