[issue9856] Change object.__format__(s) where s is non-empty to a TypeError

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

The more I think about this, the more overly restrictive I realize it is. If the type of the object really is "object", then it can use string formatting. It's only for non-objects that I want to add the error.

I'll re-open it and give it some more thought.
