It's a reasonable concern, but no, it doesn't apply to us. From the
Python library I'm only using the parser to parse the format
micro-language, but not doing anything special with the field name, in
particular not applying attribute lookup: trying `{0.__class__}`
wouldn't try to extract the `__class__` attribute from the first
positional argument, but would look up for a keyword argument with
such name and fail with a KeyError. Also, we check and explicitly
forbid placeholder modifier.
