Attachments: Patch updating tag substitution

Description xOneca 2014-02-01 15:41:39 UTC 
From http://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#format-string-syntax:
> Changed in version 2.7: The positional argument specifiers can be omitted, so '{} {}' is equivalent to '{0} {1}'.

But current syntax highlighting doesn't reflect this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
"This looks good: {0}".format("good")
"This does not look good, but should: {}".format("good?")
"This also should be ok: {:s}".format("good?")
Actual Results:  
The two last strings are not correctly highlighted.

Expected Results:  
Correctly identify "{}" and "{:s}" as correct replacement fields and highlight them.
