This page:

  http://docs.python.org/library/string.html

... should mention that the Formatter class and any associated functions
are new in Python 2.6.

8.1.2 does start with "Starting in Python 2.6", although I suppose there
could be a versionadded tag.

Ah, I didn't see it there.  Oh well, do what seems right.

I changed the prose into a versionadded tag in r76882.
