Thank you for picking this up!  I started to review it, but the
documentation changes didn't build, and a few tests in check-world are
failing.  Would you mind resolving those issues?  Also, if you haven't
already, please add an entry to the next commitfest [0] to ensure that 1)
this feature is tracked and 2) the automated tests will run.

+	}

Have you given any thought to allowing a directory of custom format files,
as discussed upthread [1]?  Perhaps that is better handled as a follow-up
patch, but it'd be good to understand the plan, anyway.
