While we're at it: I've had a thought about string formatting in Py3k. Suppose you do something like
name = "He" what = "Ex-Parrot" print "{name} is an {what}".format(name=name, what=what) it seems a bit too verbose. Why not have format() without any arguments default to format(**locals())?
Since format() is just a normal string method, isn't that going to require some frame hackery?
