[issue19995] %c, %o, %x, %X accept non-integer values instead of raising an exception

Larry Hastings added the comment:

I wouldn't call this a new feature--it's definitely a bug fix.  So the "feature freeze" rule does not automatically apply.  I definitely wouldn't permit this once we reach release candidates, but we aren't there yet.

I get the impression that it will break code, and it does seem kind of late.  So I'm not saying yes or no yet.  Let me think about it some more.
