Good call, but here's another case:

>>> "%#o" % 0x1234
'011064'

I don't see how to automatically convert the "%#o" spec, though of course there
are ways of fudging it. The obvious conversion doesn't give the same value:

>>> "{0:#o}".format(0x1234)
'0o11064'

I couldn't see a backward-compatibility mode for str.format generating just a
leading "0" for octal alternative format (the C style) as opposed to "0o".
