[issue7300] Unicode arguments in str.format()

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

I'm not sure I'm wild about doing the work twice, once as string and once as unicode if need be. But I'll consider it, especially since this is only a 2.7 issue.

There could be side effects of evaluating the replacement strings, but I'm not sure it's worth worrying about. Attribute (or index) access having side effects isn't something I think we need to cater to.
