[New-bugs-announce] [issue9418] Move _formatter_* methods from string type into _string module

[Georg Brandl]

New submission from Georg Brandl <georg at python.org>:

Currently, the string type has two single-underscore methods, _formatter_parser and _formatter_field_name_split, that expose details of the new string formatting implementation to Python, so that it can be used by the string.Formatter class.

This patch removes these methods and puts them into their own "_string" module.
