It is a pair of functions for pretty-printing. The functions themselves are
quite ugly (it is shell, after all), but completely localized.

I should have made this more clear: I wrote the functions, but I only made a
rough pass at sorting the existing modules, especially for a lot of them I
do not know if they are important or not.

That kind of consideration can be handled.

This too: [ mencoder = yes ] set_module_level hidden x264 xvid ...

That too can be handled.

I have no idea what matrixview is for.

I did not find any better word to express that the module is not necessary
for normal "I want to watch a movie" operation but not overshadowed by
something better (like ffmpeg vs. liba52) either.
