[issue44355] Allow spaces in format strings

[Eric V. Smith]

See msg395383 for how it's an incompatible change even to .format().

In the 15 years since I implemented .format(), this is the first I've ever heard of someone being confused by adding extra spaces. I don't think it's worth changing this.
