Passing format keyword arguments

[hayd]

In python you can do the following:

 >>> "{a}".format(a=1)
'1'

it would be nice to do the same with Formatting.

It's just string interpolation, but restricted to .format. For formatting, it would be good not to use things that are likely to conflict with common characters (like $ or even a bare {). Swift's method of marking interpolation comes to mind, i.e. \(expr).
