output: Clean up the explanation around the #format interface #546

Closed fujimotos closed 5 years ago

What's this patch?

The whole point of the #format interface is to allow plugins to avoid overheads of encoding/decoding chunks, and developers generally do not need to care about it if there is no obvious cost-saving opportunity.

So let's explain it clearly, not leaving developers figuring out by themselves.
