Tell the users not to use % formatting in user code for warnings. 3. Add my original, simple, global check for recursion. It will work incorrectly in an insignificant number of cases, and will typically result in at least one warning about % formatting, anyway. I'll have a patch ready soon.

True enough.  Then I think we should go with:
1. Use .format() in the warnings module.
2. Tell the users not to use % formatting in user code for warnings.
3. Add my original, simple, global check for recursion.  It will work
incorrectly in an insignificant number of cases, and will typically
result in at least one warning about % formatting, anyway.

I'll have a patch ready soon.
