I think we should use %b instead of %s.  In that case, I'm fine with
%b not accepting numbers.  Using %b clearly indicates we are
inserting arbitrary bytes.  It also proves a useful code review step
when translating from Python 2.x.


Using %b could cause problems in the future as b is used in new style formatting to mean output numbers in binary, so %B seems to me the obvious choice as it's also unused.
