Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment: A few thoughts: * no one has ever made a request for this * different people may want to do it in different ways (the formulas are hard-wired). * the '...' connector is hardwired (perhaps ' ... ' would look less odd). * we should have a preference for keeping APIs small (more to learn and remember) * this is dirt simple string processing and not hard for people to roll their own if the need arises * if the API were to be expanded, perhaps it should be as a part of a focuses, thoughtful effort to provide a more generic set of text formatting transformations perhaps modeled on deep experiences with similar modules in other languages. (as opposed to piecemeal additions that weren't designed with a coherent vision).
