Not sure about this, but what about?

- if no `extensions` field is present, then default extensions for that format are used, as possibly modified by `+` or `-` in the format specifier

Wouldn't it be better if `+`/`-` in the `format` field be an error condition if the format argument is a table? Least confusing IMO.

- if `extensions` is present, then those extensions will be used, instead of the defaults; if you want no extensions, just use `ejxtensions = {}`
- if `extensions` is present *and* modifiers to format, then start with `extensions` and apply the modifiers
