Sorry my python is so rusty, but why would % require you to rewrite
sentences in % order? If we need to do this in python they're doing %
wrong in the first place. I've never heard of this problem either in C
or in Perl (I'm aware that $ is technically not standardize, but no
modern open source program would work without $).

String interpolation (and raw string literals) came from Perl. When I
write Perl I actually go back to % because interpolated strings can
quickly become completely unreadable.
