[issue3982] support .format for bytes

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

I've lost track what we were talking about. I thought we were trying to support b'<something>'.format() in 3.4, for a restricted set of arguments.

I don't see how a third-party package is going to help, if the goal is to allow 3.4 to be source compatible with 2.7. And the recent example uses %-formatting, which is not the subject of this ticket.

What proposal is actually on the table here?
