I did not know about `format-spec', it's really nice!

What would "%e" be bound to? Since this is a customization for a given
source block, it should be fixed, so I think we only need "%l" and "%c".

This was the main reason why I did not want to go that route. This said,
after understanding this regexp, I see how I can explain how the two
cases are distinguished in the docstring.

Yes. I'll give the template string a try and will report back.

Thanks,
