[issue3516] string formatting quirk using %.%

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:

I'd rather see it this way: It is a programming error if a format string
contains a reference to a nonexisting dictionary key, no matter what
formatting specifier is used. The implementation is quite consistent here.
