By the way, I finally found out where the documentation mentions
string interpolation:

http://python.org/doc/current/lib/typesseq-strings.html#l2h-68

and

http://python.org/doc/current/tut/node9.html#SECTION009100000000000000000


so you can take a look at the documentation if you're a details-oriented
person.
