### What needs to get done 1. Copy this function and its relevant tests to `craft-cli`: https://github.com/canonical/craft-parts/blob/main/craft_parts/utils/formatting_utils.py 2. Make a `craft-cli` release 3. Update craft apps to reference this function instead of their own instances of it. 4. Make comments both here and in the `craft-parts` implementation that the function exists in the other location so we can copy bug fixes if needed. (No functional changes in craft-parts) ### Why it needs to get done Reduced copy/pasting of code for improved maintainability
