This patch is relative old - a few features are in core now - UTF8
decoration, and listing function source code,

see \sf command in 9.1

I agree, so these features should be split. This old patch was a
"features preview"

there is areas:

* custom line's formats
* enhanced formatting - multiline headers, wrapping in white chars
* basic scripting - \execute function
* enhanced scripting \if \forc statements
* macros
