But won't that clobber a large number of the simple
use cases that you want to keep %-formatting for?
Note the part of the proposal that allows *any* iterable on the right
hand side rather than the current insistence on a tuple. So the
single-value use cases can be boxed easily with a list.
To my mind salvaging %-formatting requires removing the ambiguity over
whether or not the right hand side will be iterated over.
Cheers,
Nick.
