String format does not escape braces correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. $.format("My name is {0} :-{{}}", 'Fred')

What is the expected output?
My name is Fred :-{}

What do you see instead?
"My name is Fred :-{NaN}"

The quoted PEP says:

    Braces can be escaped by doubling:

        "My name is {0} :-{{}}".format('Fred')

    Which would produce:

        "My name is Fred :-{}"

Would be glad to see this issue getting fixed. Really, really helpful
plugin, though. Tanks a lot!
