Hi, With Victor's consent, I overhauled PEP 460 and made the feature set more restricted and consistent with the bytes/str separation.

I was initially dubious about the idea, but the proposed semantics look good to me.
We should probably include format_map for consistency with the str API.
However, I also added bytearray into the mix, as bytearray objects should generally support the same operations as bytes (and they can be useful especially for network programming).
So we'd define the format string as mutable to get a mutable result out of the formatting operations? This seems a little weird to me.
It also seems weird for a format method on a mutable type to not perform in-place mutation.
On the other hand, I don't see another obvious way to control the output type.
Cheers, Nick.
Regards Antoine.
