Do you hate the space that much ? :-) The format code and the resolution are 
not that closely related, / somehow doesn't look intuitive to me.

I've thought about this, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to introduce 
extensions to the existing syntax (we currently have no format starting with 
something else than an uppercase letter) as we're deprecating it.
