Oh, I didn't know that a type is free to change this behavior: return
something different than str(obj) if the format spec is an empty
string.

So are you suggesting to change type(obj).__format__('') to return the
fully qualified name instead of repr(type)?

So "%s" % type(obj) would use repr(), but "{}".format(type(obj)) and
f"{type(obj)}" would return the fully qualified name?
