Description
FancyStrMixin
supports the printf-style string formatting specification for controlling how attributes are displayed. This is handy, but printf-style only goes so far. For example, on Python 3, there is no printf-style formatter which operates on bytes instance to produce a "foo\x00"
-style output (%s
comes with an unwanted b
prefix).
Allowing a formatting function to be supplied would let applications format things any way they wish. This is most directly needed by #6057, but is probably more widely useful.

Sigh. This is turning into an (even more) terrible API. I'm sure we can come up with a new, cleaner approach in our copious spare time. Meanwhile, this seems reasonable, please merge.
