I keep meaning to review this but haven't had time. One thing I want to 
look at specifically is the ability to put the time formatting into the 
str.format version of the format string. Now that the time format 
specifier can be included in the format string, it's no longer necessary 
to have the asctime inspection hack that's currently used in order to 
avoid formatting the time. It would be good if we could remove the 
formatTime logic for str.format, although I'm not sure how practical it 
is. I suspect it's too baked-in to the design, but I'm hopeful.

I'm +1 on the overall concept of allow the other string formatters.
