This seems to me to be almost the same as the previous suggestion of
having a string subclass:

__ = BraceFormatter
logger.debug(__("The {0} is {1}"), "answer", 42)
I'd rather make that:
class BraceFormatter:
def __init__(self, s):
self.s = s
def __mod__(self, other):
# Needs more magic here to cope with dict argument
return s.format(*other)
__ = BraceFormatter
That is, *not* a string subclass. Then if someone attempts to mangle
it, or use it for anything but %, it fails loudly.
