[issue7094] Add alternate float formatting styles to new-style formatting.

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I do not believe that this is covered by the moratorium.  It's important for 3.x success to get new string formatting to its highest state of usability.  Matching published standards and practices(i.e. C99) and improving ability to convert from old-style to new style are both very helpful in this regard.
