- remove support for passing a single value to a format string

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.
But that either needs doing for 3.0 or waiting until 4.0 right?
Personally I only *occasionally* find the tuple interpolation a problem
and am perfectly happy with the current % string formatting...
