That seems like a nice idea, but what would happen if pprint had not
been imported? NameError?

Right now in str.format(), we have !s, !r, and !a to allow us to call str(),
repr(), and ascii() respectively on the given expression.
I'm proposing that we add a !p conversion to have pprint.pformat() be called to
convert the given expression to a 'pretty' string.
Calling
```
print(f"My dict: {d!p}")
```
is a lot more concise than:
```
import pprint
print(f"My dict: {pprint.pformat(d)}")
```
We may even be able to have a static attribute stored to change the various
default kwargs of pprint.pformat().
