Indeed. I'm adding these two functions to libgettextpo:

/* Return a NULL terminated array of the supported format types.  */
extern const char * const * po_format_list (void);

/* Return the pretty name associated with a format type.
   For example, for "csharp-format", return "C#".
   Return NULL if the argument is not a supported format type.  */
extern const char * po_format_pretty_name (const char *format_type);

Thank you for the suggestion.

I feel that the current API is simpler and just as easy to use.
