This is probably so simple it might seem silly, but it would be useful. What if you want to append or end a field (each and every time) with certain characters or words on the display of the field? For instance, text entered into a parenthetical would simply display as (text)? Sure, you can add the parenthesis into a content template, etc., but what if you want to include the parenthetical in the title of the node, for instance?

If I understand you correctly, you could write a fairly trivial formatter that simply printed "(". $whatever_the_user_entered ")". Since formatters do not support any configuration whatsoever (which sucks), it would have to be a one-off formatter. I don't think that would really be appropriate for this module, but it should be quite simple to write by simply cloning one of the formatters that ships with CCK's text module.

@bomarmonk: just cross-referencing another approach to the same problem... looks like you already found it, but others might be looking: #466092: Option to display on node view
