New description:
The pretty_print function currently takes only one argument. This somehow
makes it difficult to print multiple things in one line, for instance the
following is currently not possible:
{{{
A = identity_matrix(2); pretty_print("A = ", A)
}}}
with the output being "A = <the matrix A on the same line>"
I am attaching a patch which allows pretty_print to take in multiple
arguments. It is based on some code by _leif @ #sagemath (See
http://sagenb.org/home/pub/3111/ ). Also kini @ #sagemath helped in
passing the doctests.
The modifications are to 1) the function pretty_print 2) the doctests in
pretty_print 3) the doctest in pretty_print_default (whitespace issues)

Apply [attachment:trac_11775-pretty_print_multiple_args.3.patch] to the
`SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage`.

Comment:
Updated patch to make it work with Typeset on or off, and also take in
multiple arguments. Passes doctests: `../../sage -t -long ./sage/misc`.
The `view()`, `tuple_function()`, `latex()` and `JSMath()` in
`devel/sage/sage/misc/latex.py` have been updated to take in an extra
argument `combine_all`. The way it works is:
1. if `combine_all` is `True` then the string returned by `tuple_function`
does not return a tuple and it instead combines all the elements it
receives. It ''does not'' collapse a tuple inside a tuple.
2. if `combine_all` is `False` (the default) then everything behaves as
earlier.
3. `combine_all` is passed as `True` from `pretty_print` whenever it calls
the `view()` function.
