Is the idea to introduce a parallel namespace to pretty.<name>?  I
am not sure why that is a good idea than, say a single variable that
says "to me, pretty.<name> would override even the built-in names".

I am not sure how I feel about being able to override built-in
formats in the first place, though.

After all, pretty.<name> were introduced so that user-defined ones
can be invoked with an equal ease as the built-in ones, but
overriding common understanding among the users of the tool is a
different story.
