Moving the decision of "how am I going to be called" to the time of
writing the format string is a bit odd.
On the other hand, the specially crafted format string does have the
virtue of travelling far more easily through any APIs that wrap the
basic format() method (since it doesn't need special treatment to make
its way through the wrapping code).
Completely agree on all points. Now we're just left with "is it worth
expanding the str api for this?". I don't feel strongly either way.
