Zachary Ware added the comment:

I would suggest moving the section "4.7.2. printf-style String Formatting" from stdtypes to string, alongside the other two formatting specifications, or otherwise moving %-formatting and {}-formatting into the same page that is not stdtypes.  4.7.2 is a pretty long section, and it seems odd to me that it is still in that page instead of with the other string formatting specs, though it is the only place that would have made sense in a pre-{}-and-$-formatting world.

On the other hand, Gerrit's proposed solution is a *lot* simpler :)
