Description

String format including n$ flag and no type specifier raises ArgumentError

"%1$ " % 1 # invalid format character - % (ArgumentError)
"%1$," % 1 # malformed format string - %, (ArgumentError)

But when it ends with n$ flag, or the next char to n$ flag is "\n" or "\0", there is no error. Returns string with n$ flag removed.

"%1$\n" % 1 #=> "%\n"
"%1$\0" % 1 #=> "%\u0000"
"%1$" % 1 #=> "%"
