@felipepiovezan pointed out that maybe we could have something like the following:
```
${function.return}${function.scope}${function.basename}${function.arguments}
```
instead of a format specifier. That way the user could highlight/omit the bits of the frame name they want, without having a dedicated implementation for each.
That would also make `${function.name-without-args}` redundant. If people prefer that, I'm happy to give that a shot. I implemented something similar in early prototypes, but felt that having dedicated variables for each part of the function name feels redundant for most use-cases. But thinking about again, it does synergize nicely with the existing color support of `frame-format`.
We'll have to handle these variables inside the language plugins however. So there needs to be some sensible fallback for when a plugin doesn't know what a `basename` is yet.
