Here's something else for future edits:

1. When converting a string to an integer, what should the rules be? 
Should:
format("0xd", "d")
produce "13", or should it be an error?

2. I'm making the format specifiers as strict as I can.  So, I've made 
these ValueError's:

For strings:
   - specifying a sign
   - specifying an alignment of '='

For longs:
   - specify a precision
   - specify a sign with type of 'c'

Eric.
