And it's also about refactoring (as you might know, I'm already thinking
about a next-generation pretty-printer, and don't want to put
unnecessary effort in the old code).

That's an interesting idea, I might think about that. In general I'm
very much in favour of automated and regression tests. Not sure how to
set this up for a pretty-printer and how to assess outcome, though.

I don't know, I haven't tried ;-)
