That is very true.  We should restrain ourselves and avoid going
overboard piling shiny new toys on a not-so-useful foundation that
is not expressive enough.  One feature that is probably much more
needed on the foundation side would be some form of conditional
output, without which built-in output elements like --show-notes
cannot be emulated with --format option.
