Indeed, we meant b'...{}...{}...'.format(x, y). The problem is that it
can't invoke x.__format__() or y.__format__() since those will return
text strings instead of bytes. A proposed solution was to try
x.__bformat__() etc. Another proposed solution was to limit x and y to
a small set of common types and hard-code their meanings (e.g.
numbers, bytes, and dates).
If there were an __bformat__ method, what would object.__bformat__() return?
