Fair comment: I did think about the messiness of that if/elif, but considered it
OK as it was likely that Python would not grow any more formatting approaches.
However, I hadn't thought about user-defined approaches; what you're suggesting
is more extensible.

I'll incorporate your and Boštjan's comments in the next checkin.
