I believe the proposal is taking advantage of the fact that '\{' is
not interpreted as an escape sequence -- it is interpreted as a
literal backslash followed by an open brace:
>>> '\{'
'\\{'
>>> '\\{'
'\\{'
>>> r'\{'
'\\{'
Thus, for 'abc\{0\}'.format('x'), you should get an error because
there are no replacement fields in the format string.
