- remove support for passing a single value to a format string without wrapping it in an iterable first But won't that clobber a large number of the simple use cases that you want to keep %-formatting for?
Note the part of the proposal that allows any iterable on the right hand side rather than the current insistence on a tuple. So the single-value use cases can be boxed easily with a list.
To my mind salvaging %-formatting requires removing the ambiguity over whether or not the right hand side will be iterated over.
Cheers, Nick.
