Last time, we almost managed a unification: tokens like %authordate in f-e-r correspond to tokens like %ae in pretty-formats; %C(...) is different in that it doesn't actually output anything, but changes the color of tokens following it. While I'm not opposed to %(color:...), I would prefer a color syntax that is different from other-token syntax, like in pretty-formats.
