[issue38657] String format for hexadecimal notation breaks padding with alternative form

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

int.__format__ inherits this from %-formatting, which inherits it from C's printf.

There's no way we're going to change this at this point: the breakage would be too great. So, I'm going to reject this.
