Hi all

This is a bit of trivia, really, as I don't need a solution.

But someone might need it one day, so it is worth mentioning.

 >>> '{}'.format(True)
'True'
 >>> '{:<10}'.format(True)
'1         '

One might want to format True/False in a fixed width string, but it 
returns 1/0 instead. Is there any way to make this work?
