I thought of that, but then the resulting string would be indeed different
and comparing short and long formats would be harder. Remember this is for
debug prints. If the format is too long, then it should be made shorter,
but during the earlier review rounds people have expressed interest in
having this information there.

"?" can be expanded by the shell whereas "." is not. If DRM folks think we
should go back to "?" I'm fine with that. Also note that there's something
wrong with the fourcc code to begin with if it's got either "." or "?".
