will help in the adoption of str.format().
For example:
'The {} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue')
You can mix and matcth auto-numbering and named replacement fields:
'The {} is {color}'.format('sky', color='blue')
But you can't mix and match auto-numbering and specified numbering:
'The {0} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue')
ValueError: cannot switch from manual field specification to automatic field numbering
