Is this a pattern that objects should normally follow, or a convention
enforced by format itself? In other words, does
"{0:abc,def,ghi}".format(value)
mean
# Assume value.__format__ will delegate properly, to
# result1.__format__("def,ghi")
#
# There are some surprises when a trailing field size gets ignored by
# value.__class__.
#
# Are infinite loops more likely?
value.__format__("abc,def,ghi")
or
# The separator character (","?) gets hard to use in format strings...
value.__format__("abc").__format__("def").__format__("ghi")
