I can't imagine it would be that hard - the formatter is a 3rd party Python
library anyway; we just feed the current contents of CodeMirror to it, and
then replace it with the text that comes back.

Having pluggable formatters does seem like a nice idea. All we'd do is pass
the text to an external process and then grab the results (presumably
through stdin/out), through pretty much the same mechanism (just replacing
the existing Python call to the formatter).
