Actually, the final comment was [1], after the version where I use `[--format=...] [-z]`.

But actually, I don't have a strong opinion on using `| -z` vs using `[-z]`, since both work here, but if `| -z` looks clearer, I can change it in the next version. However, I'll do that for both repo-info and repo-structure, since --format is parsed by the same function in both of them.
