I find this **MUCH** preferable to the ugly and seemingly unnecessary
wrapper class idea being bandied about. This would be scarcely worse than
passing the string itself.
But it's not much of a transition plan.
It is a 'plan' to transition from not being able to use the new
formatting, which I prefer, throughout the stdlib, to being able to do so.
I believe most, even if not all, find that acceptable. Certainly, I
think you should be able to implement the above for argparse before
submitting it. And I would hope that 3.2, in a year, is generally
.format usable.
This is the first step in a possible long-term replacement, but there is
currently no consensus to do any more than this. So I think it premature
to do any more. I would agree, for instance, that an auto-translation
tool is needed.
