So, if %a is added it would act like:

"%a" % some_obj

where 'unicode_escape' would yield something like "\u0440" ?
My patch on the tracker already implements %a, it's simple.
Before one implements a patch it is good to know the specifications.
Just call PyObject_ASCII() (same as ascii()) then call
PyUnicode_AsLatin1String(s) to convert it to bytes and stick it in.
PyObject_ASCII does not return non-ASCII characters, no decode error
is possible. We could call _PyUnicode_AsASCIIString(s, "strict")
instead if we are afraid for non-ASCII bytes coming out of
PyObject_ASCII.
I appreciate that this is the behavior you want, but I'm not sure it's the
behavior Nick was describing.
