New submission from Mitchell Model m...@acm.org:
In the library documentation of standard types, the instance method
str.format is shown as taking a format-specification as its first
argument. I'm pretty sure that this is incorrect. When format is called
through a string, it is that string that is the format specification.
That is, shouldn't
format(format-specification-string, arg) be equivalent to
format-specification-string.format(arg)
?
