This helper function is intended to be used by callers implementing --pretty themselves; it parses pretty.* configuration variables recursively and hands the user-defined format back to the caller. No builtins are supported, as CMT_FMT_* are really only useful when displaying commits. Callers might like to define their own builtins in the future.
