> so str.format() might raise an OverflowError for values >= 128 (or >=
256?)

Maybe, but the issue you reported is in unicode.format() (not
str.format()), and I think that should be fixed. I'm trying to think of
how best to address it.

As for the second issue you raise (which I think is that str.format()
can't take a unicode argument), would you mind opening a separate issue
for this and assigning it to me? Thanks.
