I think you're right Jared. So, Andreas, the formatted (and unmutable!) 
part of the message is "%(versionNumber)s":
- "%" : introduces the format
- "(versionNumber)": is the name of the variable
- "s" : is the type of the format, here, a string. In Chandler, we 
mostly use "s" here and have a few "d" (decimal number) here and there
