BTW, there's a subtlety here:
%scurrently means "insert the result of calling str", but bytes formatting should not call str.
Since it derives from the C printf notation, it means "insert string here". The fact that str will be called is secondary to that. I would say it's not a problem for bytes formatting to call bytes, or in some other way convert to bytes without calling str.
Will it be confusing to have bytes and str supporting distinctly different format operations? Might it be better to instead create a separate and very different method on a bytes, just to emphasize the difference?
