I took a look at the code before today with search terms like

    CMIT_FMT_DEFAULT
    CMIT_FMT_MEDIUM,

And it looked to me that at least parts of it were implemented using
regular code branching.  I was thinking that maybe the built-in formats
were defined just using the formatting primitives.  But it didn’t look
like that to me.
