Mark Dickinson and I agree that for numeric types, right alignment makes much more sense as a default. And that's what %-formatting and str.format() both do.
Is the new formatting supposed to behave the same way as %-formatting for the same format codes? Because the default for %-formatting is actually right alignment for all types, including strings.
