Here's a demonstration of how to hook custom code into the f-string
formatting engine. It's brilliantly depraved.

You can, but only if you write evil code that probably should

I'm not going to integrate it into your library, but I will show
you how to hook into the behavior of f-strings. This is roughly
how it'll work:
1. Write a function that manipulates the bytecode instructions of
code objects to replace FORMAT_VALUE instructions with calls
to a hook function;
2. Customize the import mechanism to make sure that the bytecode
of every module and package (except standard library modules
and site-packages) is modified with that function.
Final code is here:
