For both options 1 and 2 surely you cannot be suggesting that after people have written 2.x code to use format() as %f formatting is to be deprecated, they now have to change the code back to the way they may well have written it in the first place? If they are committed to format(), another option is to operate in the Unicode domain, and encode at the end.

Maybe that's the best advice to give. It's better than my earlier example of field-at-a-time encoding.
