I think you may have a bit of trouble. The part where you demanded the
language dynamically figure out what you wanted may have gotten your
tongue rather stuck there...
The neat thing about this list is that even posts like that can result

Absolutely correct.
This thread actually got me thinking[1]. There's a thread on Python
ideas about "where did we go wrong with negative stride?". It discusses
maybe fixing this for Python 4. I wondered if the idea of deprecating
printf style formatting might also come up again. It was discussed in

[1] yes it does happen, yes you may joke about it and yes I can take the
jokes, I certainly deserve them :)
