Surely Phobos should add a prettyPrinting() function, like the

I would rather have function that generates a pretty
representation of a given value. Then it either can be used to
print the representation or something else.
How about "%r" in 'format'?
Then for arrays, "%(%s, %)" would in fact be "%(%r, %)" while
"%-(%s, %)" would in fact be "%(%s, %)" - breaking existing code;
punishable by 'xxformat' for at least one year :-)
