Summary: new string method -- format

Initial Comment:
Attached patch adds a method, 'format', to str and
unicode types.  The method performs the same operation
as the string interpolation operator.

The patch also includes modifications to test_format.py
as well as libstdtypes.tex (tex code untested - I can't
figure out latex; hopefully it is correct though, much
is copy/pasted from elsewhere).

Aside from having wanted this method forever, one of my
use cases is building a list of objects to be displayed
in a somewhat generic fashion.  Currently an explicit
function is required for the simple operation of string
interpolation, either by def'ing one or using a lambda,
while other, more complex operations.  Example attached.
