"Not sure" sounds convincing. Deal - let's keep being explicit rather
than implicit. Brevity?
def _(fmt, dict):
return fmt.format(**dict)
__ = globals()
___ = locals()
foo = 42
_("{foo}", __())
If that's not terse enough, you can take Python3, and go thru Unicode
planes looking for funky-looking letters, then you hopefully can reduce
to
.("{foo}", .())
Where dots aren't dots, but funky-looking letters.
