Pinging @Arian_Bozorg for product :) my summary: The `wbformatvalue` API has an `options` parameter that can be used to set various options that affect value formatting. Some of these options can theoretically be abused to trigger errors (which are mostly harmless except for logspam). According to tracking we added two years ago, only a few options are actually being used by API users. We suggest to change the API so that only those options are allowed. (The format of the `options` parameter would stay the same, so that nobody has to update their code.) Anyone who tried to use the more “exotic” options would get an API error, even if the options were in theory supported by the underlying formatter. This would probably be a breaking change and should be announced as such; on the other hand, I think it also gives us an opportunity to document the supported options at all for the first time (I don’t think they’re currently documented). Does that sound okay?
