And as we let people do that using --force, it could be useful for
them to have a way to easily see what they have done.

Ok, so would you prefer the following:

- NAME_ONLY_REPLACE_FMT and "--format=name_only" instead of
SHORT_REPLACE_FMT and "--format=short"

- NAME_AND_VALUE_REPLACE_FMT and "--format=name_and_value" instead of
MEDIUM_REPLACE_FMT and "--format=medium"

- DEBUG_REPLACE_FMT and "--format=debug" instead of FULL _REPLACE_FMT
and "--format=full"

?

Thanks,
Christian.
