I searched the (Issue 8) troff source for cross-references to File Format
Notation and the only ones where it is used to specify how a utility
processes a format string are in:

awk printf statement
pax -o listopt=format
printf utility

Since printf and awk have already been mentioned, the only new one to
consider is pax.
I could see it being a useful feature in pax for things like:

pax -v -o listopt=".... %'(size)i ...."
