How's this?

All the numeric formatting codes (such as ``%x``, ``%o``, ``%e``, ``%f``,
``%g``, etc.) will be supported, and will work as they do for str, including
the padding, justification and other related modifiers.  The only difference
will be that the results from these codes will be ASCII-encoded bytes, not
unicode.
