In any event, allvars() or a-different-vars() is out of scope for this PEP. We'd use it if it was there, but I think it needs its own PEP, which someone else will have to champion.
On the other hand, the allvars() suggestion is right on the point in my opinion. It is not a stand-alone suggestion, its goal was to stress out that `.sub()' is too far from the `%' operator, it looks like a random addition. The available formatting paradigms of Python, I mean, those which are standard, should look a bit more unified, just to preserve overall elegance. If we want Python to stay elegant (which is the source of comfort and pleasure, these being the main goals of using Python after all), we have to seek elegance in each Python move.
