Hi Kiste,

Stef made a pretty usefull library at the time, but it has some flaws
and inconsistensies. In the first year of jallib, many libraries were
refactored, but format.jal was such a taks that I decided to leave it
at the time and create the more elementary print.jal.
Last year or so there where some complaints and I worked on the
library for some time, but the result was never assesed due to the
lack of 'discussion in detail' as you call it. And since I have no
strong opinion on this lib and the complaints (I don't use it), I
redraw the modification. I guess when 'somebody' stands up and start
working on format.jal, it would be worth while to dig into svn to look
at my modifications.

You could be right, but I guess Matt has an opinion about this too...

Well, an other reason for refactoring format.jal. It is probably quite
a job to do so, but the result will be rewarding since there is much
to improve :)
