http://bugs.python.org/issue7094 proposes adding "alternate" formatting
[1] to floating point new-style formatting (float.__format__ and
probably Decimal.__format__). I'd like to add this to make automated
translation from %-formatting strings to str.format strings easier.
Would this be allowed under the moratorium? I think it falls under the
Case-by-Case Exemptions section, but let me know what you think.
Eric.
[1] Alternate formatting for floats modifies how trailing zeros and
decimal points are treated. See
