It seems to me that the proposed changes are too tricky and too dirty for such 
a modest gain. It seems to me, this effect can be achieved easier 
(special-casing "%s" and "{}" to return str(arg)?).

If you want to get really impressive results, try to compile a pattern into an 
optimized internal representation and cache it (as in the struct module). This 
completely different approach may work.
