I'd also like to point out that this information is currently completely
inaccessible for anybody without looking it up in the source code.
Knowing about a filter's supported formats is important for building
efficient filter chains and avoiding unexpected auto format
conversions.
I had added this output years ago and the information (which is
parsed from the help output) is an important prerequisite for our
automated filter-string-building (outside of ffmpeg).
I also use it regularly for looking up filter formats and I think
it might be useful for others as well.
Kind regards,
