Absolutely not.

This is application code and does not belong in the libraries.

How else do we not have a redundant copy of all that and make sure that 
-stats_* options and the filter understand the same {..} directives?

Why does that filter need to understand the same directives? No other
filter does.

Because it is meant to use the file(s) the -stats_* option writes out. The most 
convenient and most error resilient way is to use the very same format string 
for -stats_* option as well as for the filter.

Otherwise it could be a 'usual' scanf-format, but then the user has to 
translate it from one format into the other - without making mistakes.
But that would also mean to update the filter (if someone realizes it) if the 
option ever changes.

Why does it need a dynamic format at all? Just postulate a fixed format
for its input like every other filter and none of this complexity is
needed.

That would unnecessarily limit the user of the -stats_* option to a specific 
format if the user also wants to use this filter later.
Either sacrificing the other info the user wanted to process from the file 
created or having to run the same command (with distinct format strings for the 
-stats_* option) twice. Or do the conversion from his extensive format into the 
fixed format manually - without errors.
