I'm not asking for interpolation out of the current namespace
or anything like that -- just a simple extension to the current
set of formats for interpolating from a dict, that could be
done right now without affecting anything. I'd be willing to
supply a patch if it has some chance of being accepted.
I agree that the more esoteric proposals are best left until
later.
