I may be a conservative, crotchety old C programmer, but I tend to be
quite pedantic about formatting. Especially in a weakly-typed language
like Python, where the formatter at least yells at you if you happen to,
e.g., send a timedelta to a %d instead of an int. Using a %s always
"works" but also hides bugs.
