It may be a funny experiment but I really fail to see the value in your
proposal.

The simple {foo} expansion you mention should be quite easily handled
with re.sub and a function as argument. So not much more then a few
lines of code.

Interesting could be to have {foo#bar} and {foo%bar} as well but again
I don't think the whole stuff would be very usefull anyway given the
%(foo)s form works quite well and has a host of options (for aligning
for example).
