[Python-3000] String formating operations in python 3k

[Ian D. Bollinger]

Aren't a lot of the string formatting operations superfluous as %s does the
work that type-specific operations (%i, etc) do?  However, I guess I don't
see how to merge the other formatting operations with $-string
substitution.  Could the other formatting operations be added to the str()
function as an additional argument?  Although I don't particularly like that
idea, and I think I remember someone else making that suggestion and it not
panning out very well.
