Fair point. Still, my original statement was that it is even better to do it as:
return f"{volts}V insufficient to voom {bird}"
which treats it fully as code. But if the information wasn't from
locals and was from some other dict, then yes, I fully accept the
correction, format_map would have been the correct choice.
