I'm talking about the other parsing: from the displayed duration to
a number of minutes. It cannot be done if we allow user-defined
functions.

Also, I'd rather have one defcustom than two for a simple thing like
duration display.

So, I still suggest to provide an unique, although conditional, display
for duration. If you still want to allow customization, make sure it can
be parsed back (or better, provide the parser). I'm not fundamentally
against format strings.
