This complicate the compiler and the eval loop, especially in the case of nested substitutions in formats, like
f'{value:+{width:d}.{prec:d}f}'
This point reminded me that there's still https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0536/ to consider as well (that's the PEP about migrating f-strings to a fully nested expression grammar rather than hijacking the existing string tokenisation code).
I *think* that's an orthogonal concern (since it relates to the initial parsing and AST compilation phase, rather then the code generation and execution phase), but it's worth keeping in mind.
