Thank you, Victor and Serhiy, for your pointers into the code. I'm hoping we have general agreement about %c, %o, %x, and %X and having them use __index__ only (using __int__ would open the door to float conversions). I still have a question about %i, though. The docs say %u is exactly the same as %d and is therefore deprecated. The docs do not say thay %i is the same as %d, but the descriptions are the same. Are %i and %d the same, or is there some difference?
