Yeah, I admit that there really shouldn't use extra formatting here.

Yeah, agree. But now I just want to delete all atoms from %(ctime) to %(flags), and let --debug can work with --format.

Good suggestion. I am curious about why there is no function like die_for_incompatible_opt4() with variable parameters?
