OK, absolutely not a problem, I will return them. Do I need to write
"extern" further in function declarations? And why did everyone choose
writing "extern" every time? It looks obvious for me that declaration
of function is extern, that's why I decided to throw them away.

I'm very happy and satisfied with it :-)

It was a typo that I missed. Thank you! Will fix it also.

It's a middle point, as I said. I have plans to create unifying
format.h then (for all formatting issues). I guess that pretty.h and
ref-filter.h will be deleted later. But, I really need to create now
that pretty.h because it is much easier to work with existing
interface. If you have another ideas how to achieve the main goal -
please share them with me, I would appreciate that so much. I am not
sure that my solution is the best, but I can't come up with something
better for now.
