I second this.  Given that the '%' approach to formatting will be deprecated
in later releases of the 3.x series, it probably would be a good idea to
start transitioning to the new approach.

To start, I would like to see a note added to the FormatStrFormatter docs
pointing to an example on how to use FuncFormatter to implement the new
style formatter.
