Currently with `gettext()` function you can use both, older-style python
format `%(variable)s` and newer style python-brace-format `{variable}`,
for example:
{{{
gettext('Hello, %(addressee)s!') % {'addressee': 'World'}
gettext('Hello, {addressee}!').format(addressee='World')
}}}
Unfortunately, `{% blocktrans %}` always produces the old-style format
with the `%` sign.
I think, it would make sense to add a parameter to the `{% blocktrans %}`
tag by which you could define the python string format you want to
produce.
According to my experience with not-so-technical translators,
`%(variable)s` format in the `django.po` files is more confusing than
`{variable}`.
