Release notes show the use of '{}'.format('this') and the attached patch
updates this to be the default example in the tutorial. Library
references are updated to show field_name as optional and a few examples
are added.

Relates to the improvements from issue 5237.

2.7 does not support the !a conversion specifier. It's only available in
3.1 and above.

It's because ascii() is a 3.x only builtin.

Never mind, I see that you didn't add the !a docs to trunk.
