"Return a string based on FORMAT and SPECIFICATION.
FORMAT is a string containing `format'-like specs like \"su - %u %k\",
while SPECIFICATION is an alist mapping from format spec characters
to values.
For instance:
(format-spec \"su - %u %l\"
`((?u . ,(user-login-name))
(?l . \"ls\")))
Each format spec can have modifiers, where \"%<010b\" means \"if
the expansion is shorter than ten characters, zero-pad it, and if
it's longer, chop off characters from the left side\".
The following modifiers are allowed:
* 0: Use zero-padding.
* -: Pad to the right.
* ^: Upper-case the expansion.
* _: Lower-case the expansion.
* <: Limit the length by removing chars from the left.
* >: Limit the length by removing chars from the right.
Any text properties on a %-spec itself are propagated to the text
that it generates.
If ONLY-PRESENT, format spec characters not present in
SPECIFICATION are ignored, and the \"%\" characters are left
where they are, including \"%%\" strings."
