Note: this post is just a draft. Even when the subject is "something cool and simple I learned", I often don't have the time or insight to write something worth reading.
But I also don't want to forget that I *did* learn something. So I'll make stub posts when I can, and fill out the "TKs" and "lorem ipsums" when I have the time!

When trying to muck with the Click HelpFormatter subclass, I noticed something in its write_heading() method:
def write_heading(self, heading):
"""Writes a heading into the buffer."""
self.write(f"{'':>{self.current_indent}}{heading}:\n")
Specifically, the use of :>
f"{'':>{some_int}}"
(current_indent/some_int is an integer value)
TKTK
So this is equivalent:
hed = "My title"
f'{hed.rjust(20)}'
>>> ' My title'
'{:>20}'.format(hed)
>>> ' My title'
TKTK
