All of which (and more) would also be addressed in an obvious way by
just supporting --format as I suggested in

don't you think that's a better approach?

That is what I would call over-engineering that I would rather not
to have in low level plumbing.

I am all for making _parsing_ the output from the tool easier by
scripts; I am not interested in eliminating the _output_ by scripts.
They should capture and format the pieces we output in any way they
want.

So, no, I do not think it is a better approach at all.
