Hmm, I believe this is a design choice, one that should be made depending on 
whether this use-case is important and/or common.  The estr provides for this 
situation instead by allowing for additional renderings if/when needed, but 
doesn't require str() in the common case.

This is the first I've seen of directives passed inside the format spec, I'll 
add it to the comparison table.
