I didn't know .format() also had a builtin. Are there many methods that are
dual like that? On the one hand, it's more memorizing, but on the other it
might be a simpler syntax. My little finger has trouble finding the : key.
All those odd characters are hard to find - they didn't design keyboards
for programming. Maybe someday.

Now you're going to tell me there's a programmer's keyboard ;')
