Yes, that makes some sense. How would you handle
'{:.10}'.format(10/3.), though? We could either change 's' to allow a
precision, or use 's' when there's no precision specified and 'g' (with
the ADD_DOT_0 flag) otherwise.

This sounds good to me. It does feel as though there's unnecessary
duplication with the current setup.
