[Python-3000] Exception tracebacks and PEP 3101

[Guido van Rossum]

Patrick, I would recommend not to worry about that just yet. As a
first cut it's quite alright if a traceback in the formatter is just
passed through by the format() call without adding any indication of
where in the format string it happened. There are tons of ways to
debug that.
