I detest the name 'flagformat', though - the function doesn't format a flag! I don't like it that much myself, either. I considered "extendedformat" and a few others, but wasn't happy with any of them. Name suggestions are certainly welcome.

Why not just string.format()? There's precedence for module-level functions to have a different API from a method.
