I don't see any reason not to document tips and tricks with f-strings,
and this is a nice and useful example. But it looks like TOOWTDI to
me. The syntax is documented (6.1.3.1 in the Library Reference),
along with a specific relevant example ("Aligning the text and
specifying a width" in 6.1.3.2).
So -1 on putting the recipe in the reference docs. I really don't
think this kind of information belongs in a PEP for sure, and probably
not even in the Library Reference. The Tutorial might be a good place
for it, though.
If I were Bach, I'd compose a more-itertools-like module to be named
Variations_on_the_F_String. :-)
