Ah, my bad.
I agree that this is the way forward for people who are trying to localize an
existing app, but I still think we should _also_ change the language. F-strings
are great and .format is powerful but there is a too big gap in usability and
readability between them. This gap is one of the most compelling motivations
for my suggestion of a short form for keyword arguments, while also helping us
poor guys who deal with huge legacy code bases :)
