I've been re-reading the PEP, in an effort to make sure everything is
working. I realized that these tests should not pass. The PEP says
that "Format specifiers can themselves contain replacement fields". The
tests above have replacement fields in the field name, which is not
allowed. I'm going to remove this functionality.
I believe the intent is to support a replacement for:
"%.*s" % (4, 'how now brown cow')
Which would be:
"{0:.{1}}".format('how now brown cow', 4)
For this, there's no need for replacement on field name. I've taken it
out of the code, and made these tests in to errors.
Eric.
