[issue31907] doc: Clarify error message when attempting to call function via str.format()

[Irit Katriel]

Irit Katriel <iritkatriel at yahoo.com> added the comment:

I would suggest the following change in https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-string-syntax

replace the sentence:

The syntax is related to that of formatted string literals, but there are differences.

by:

The syntax is related to that of formatted string literals, but it is less sophisticated and, in particular, does not support arbitrary expressions.

Is this accurate? Is it enough?
