Splitting them up into C-like, Python-like, and best practices Julian way sounds like a great idea, as well as doing memoization. Thanks for all the great ideas! (Are you able...
Sounds good! Which are you mostly interested in working on, the `pfmt`, the "julian" `fmt` (which you'll have to deal with the fact that there is already a `fmt` in...

The one thing I dislike about the current `fmt` is that it puts the format spec first, instead of the value, and allows a string instead of a compiled format...
I like, I like! :+1:
Change the title to start with WIP:, that seems to be the convention, so people know that it is a work in progress.
`A type of f"some string with formats"` is already supported in the [StringLiterals](https://github.com/JuliaString/StringLiterals.jl) package. The syntax isn't quite the same as the Python syntax, that is something that I'd like...
It looks like support for commas was never actually implemented for the Python formatting functions. It does work in JuliaString/Format.jl, using the C format function, or the generic `fmt` function...
https://github.com/JuliaString/Format.jl does handle commas. `fmt(123456, :commas)` will return `123,456`
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...
