This is a very interesting idea.
Note that one of the reasons to /at least/ support {}-strings also is
that %-strings are simply too error prone in many situations. For
example, if I decide to support internationalization of log format
strings, and all I can use is %-strings, it's almost guaranteed that I
will have bugs because a translator forgot the trailing 's'. This
exactly the motivation that led to PEP 292 $-strings.
In fact, while we're at it, it would be kind of cool if I could use $-
strings in log templates. Antoine's idea of accepting a callable
might fit that bill nicely.
