Here's something else for future edits:
1. When converting a string to an integer, what should the rules be? 
Should:
format("0xd", "d")
produce "13", or should it be an error?
2. I'm making the format specifiers as strict as I can. So, I've made 
these ValueError's:
For strings:
 - specifying a sign
 - specifying an alignment of '='
For longs:
 - specify a precision
 - specify a sign with type of 'c'
