Benjamin already replied to the other email, and I'm here just to
reply also to this email.

Why do you think you have to explicitly state the position of the
objects in the {} format? the numbers can be use to specify a position
of the objects passed to the string, but if you want to print them as
they are passed, there's no need to enumerate them.
