Comment (by novoselt):
To me it sounds a bit strange to `pretty_print` a plot or to `show` a
formula, but I am not a native speaker. Although I don't see the point of
having two names for the same functionality, so why not then stick to
shorter `show` and drop `pretty_print`?
Use cases for inline equations:
- they are flushed left rather than centered, which makes a difference in
combined output blocks
- they have (or had) different padding in notebook, so were more compact
- they are of course more compact because they use different LaTeX style
- they could continue the line after `print "Cool formula: ",`
So I think they definitely should be available as an option. Having
`show/view` to pick the style was not cool, of course.
