If the goal is to prepare as much as possible when parsing the format
string, I'd even push it one step further and have stg like

     struct {
     	const char *str; /* e.g. "align:position=left,32" */
 	union {
         	struct {
			int position;
			enum { left, right, center } kind;
		} align;
                struct {
                	....;
                } objectname;
        int modifier_nr;
     } *used_atom;

Just a thought, I'm not sure how useful this would be, and this may be
too much change for this series (so it may deserve a separate topic).
