  I will do a final pass to rename it if desired, but I would like to wait for any other feedback before doing so.
  
  I think "format" is accurate for how we expect this to be used, but I also think it may be overly specific. I don't have any good alternatives in mind. "fix" is problematic because it is confusing in contexts like commit messages.
