Comment (by igloo):
OK, so I think this is fixed in the standalone pretty library (#2393).
As Thorkil says, GHC should really use this rather than having its own
copy. I haven't compared the two libraries, but the only thing I can think
of that would be standing in the way of that is that we need the library
to understand GHC's `FastString`s. I think that the missing piece of the
puzzle is a utf8-bytestring library, which GHC could use itself (wrapping
it in something to give it a uniq) and pretty would be able to accept
(with its `PStr` constructor).
