2. If primary target is collection formatting wouldn't it be better to name library "collection formats something"?
This is a good idea. The name is from when the library just had output support, thus the "outfmt" directory in the sandbox. I am thinking about moving to a "formatter" directory. What do other people think?
I'm -1. Having "format" and "formatter" is confusing. The name should somehow mention that you format data structures.
I second that - 'formatter' is just confusing. However, something like 'coll_format' or 'sequence_format' - I'm ok with them.
