The "lite" version posted by Itagaki-san on 11/30 seems short enough
that maybe we should just stop arguing and apply it. There were some
other versions that fooled around with existing logic, which I was a lot
less happy about because of the difficulty of being sure that nothing
was broken.
I definitely don't think we should get involved with trying to create
support for plugin formatters or anything like that --- the amount of
effort required seems far out of proportion to the benefit.
