All other "*_quote" features are implemented via *arguments* (sql_quote, html_quote, url_quote). Why do you want to make your "javascript_quote" a format? Note, that you may want to quote a (otherwise) formatted value.

I don't especially want to make it a format rather than a modifier - I take your point about being able to modify a formatted value. Before I was directed to the DT_Var module, I had been going just on what is in the DTML Reference, where it mentions only custom formats. I've now had a look at the DT_Var module, but I don't see an obvious way to register my own modifier without hacking the module.
