With:

    l = [1,2,3]

this:

    print('{0[0]:d}..{0[2]:d}'.format(l))

gives 1..3 but this:

    print('{0[0]:d}..{0[-1]:d}'.format(l))

gives:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<string>", line 1, in <fragment>
    builtins.TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str

which seems to me counterintuitive.

I expected indexing in a format string to behave as it does elsewhere
but this seems not to be true.
