Yes, thanks for pointing it out. will change.

In previous versions it was giving a refname not assigned error before usage
error, in the current version, its not needed. will remove.

I guess I'll drop the comment thanks :)

Did you read Junio's suggestion about not having a reset_formatting_state()
and rather just have each state be responsible of resetting itself.

I think thats seems to be a better approach.
