Why should we do that? ASCII format is just fine. Remember that PyUnicode_FromFormatV() is part of the C API. I don't think that anyone would use non-ASCII format in C. If someone does that, (s)he should open a new issue for that :-) But I don't think that we should make the code more complex if it's just useless.
