Seems to me that the volume of comment might imply that string formatting
isn't the one obvious best way to do it. Now the flamefest has died down
somewhat, the only thing I can see PEP 292 justifying is better
documentation for the string-formatting operator. "But then I'm an
$pytpe".sub({"ptype": "old fogey"})
