In-favour-of-%2b-ly y'rs,
My only opposition to this is that the byte type may want to use it. I'd rather wait until byte is fully defined, implemented, and released in a python version before that option is taken away.
Has this been proposed? What would %b print?
I don't believe it's been proposed and I don't know what it'd print. Perhaps it indicates the bytes should be passed through without conversion.
In any case I only advocate waiting until it's clear that bytes have no need for it before we use it for binary conversions.
