Why don't we start something in the sandbox and see how far we can get. If no one beats me to it I will add the directory some time today and we can start hashing out the solution there.

I've done a first cut of a converter from %-format to {}-format strings. I'm not sure where you want to put it in the sandbox, I've created a gist on GitHub: http://gist.github.com/200936 Not thoroughly tested, but runs in interactive mode so you can try things out. All feedback appreciated!

I mentioned it in the README. We now have two separate attempts at converting from % to {}. If people are serious about this we should start to work on a single implementation.
