Agreed that this is a bug in string.Formatter rather than a new feature.

There's already a separate bug for the autonumbering problem: 
http://bugs.python.org/issue13598

And I created a new issue about unifying some of the tests: 
http://bugs.python.org/issue14019

%-style string formatting is its own thing - it doesn't share semantics or code 
with str.format or string.Formatter.
