[issue23624] str.center inconsistent with format "^"

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I would write it:

   "{:^{width}}".format(title, width=width)

By the way, in case it isn't clear, we acknowledge that in a perfect world center would work "right", but our judgment is that the pain of fixing it outweighs the benefit.  Our collective consensus on that could be shifted, but someone would have to be willing to argue it convincingly to the community (ie: not on the bug tracker).
