Is there a good link to a thread-archive on when/why/how
.format(...) became "preferred to the % formatting"? I haven't
seen any great wins of the new formatting over the classic style.
Is there some great feature of new-style formatting that I've
missed out on that obviates bajillions of lines of 2.x code?
