I could easily argue at this point that this is the type of bug that

"format a string" (from years of C and Python (text) experience) so I
automatically supply a string argument when using %s in a bytes
formatting context.
So don't call it %s -- call it something else
such as %b.
Sorry but you can't use %b as that'll confuse people who're used to it
meaning "Month as locale’s abbreviated name." :)
