More comments on this?

I'm going to rewrite the patch with atributes (see below) on request.

Ideas for the new configuration:

# format a date or time
format = date
# format string, format depends on format.option.type
# default value: d-m-y
format.option = d-m-y
format.option.type = date | strftime
# appends the age in brackets
format.appendAge = 1

# shorthand for format = date with format i:H d-m-Y
format = datetime

# shorthand for format = date with format %M:%H
format = time 
# shorthand for format = date with format %M:%H:%S
format = timesec

format = int
format.option = dec|hex|oct|bin

format = float
format.option = <precision>

# money field with formatting according to the locale 3.234,01
format = money

format = md5

format = user
format.option = <userfunc>
format.args = <argument array>
