This implements PEP-3101, for the py3k branch.

Known issues:
Better error handling, per the PEP.

Need to write Formatter class.

test_long is failing, but I don't think it's my doing.

Need to fix this warning that I introduced when compiling
Python/formatter_unicode.c:
Objects/stringlib/unicodedefs.h:26: warning: `STRINGLIB_CMP' defined but
not used

Need more tests for sign handling for int and float.

It still supports "()" sign formatting from an earlier PEP version.

Closed, code was checked in revision 57444.

I tried to close it, without success. Possible tracker issue, I'll
investigate.

It should be closed!
