Sure, the names aren't cast in stone, and the current one doesn't
strike me as especially successful/accurate.

I thought about that as well when I read your original message, but
concluded that "Formatting Strings" is already too long.  We could
end that node with a sentence referring to the next one, so that
interested readers could continue there right away.  WDYT?

This text is sorely missed at the beginning of the node about
format-spec.

Thanks.
