Fixing-up str formatting idiosyncracies does not fall under the moratorium and is helpful in getting 3.x to be usable.
That being said, I'm not convinced that this is actually a helpful feature. Not all objects supporting __getitem__ offer support for negative indexing. Also, there's a case to be made that using negative indices in a formatting string is an anti-pattern, causing more harm than good. |
