I'd like this to say they can only be placed where the PEP describes
them, or maybe to be only at the end.
"{0!r:20}".format("Hello")
or
"{0:20!r}".format("Hello")
Putting them at the end makes the parsing easier, although I grant you
that that's not a great reason for specifying it that way. Whatever it
is, I think there should be only one place they can go.

I would assume a ValueError, but yes, it should be explicit.
