Well, I see there are 3 related commits. The first (d8dfa0) which
collects prompt formatting into a single function, makes sense to me.
I'm leaning against the second (fdcd93) -- as pointed out above, it
seems like the existing machinery could be used toward the same end. The
third (f44d66) (revised to make use of existing machinery) seems like it
would be suitable for a collection of solved problems or how-to cookbook
 -- not sure if it should be in share.
