I've been looking into this for Develop activity, but it seems that path
has never been explored. Best approach seems to be to write a
pretty-printer to walk the tree.
I'm curious about the focus on ASTs that seems apparent in this
subthread (though I may easily be misreading between the lines :-).
I've always been more inclined to edit the text and re-parse from
there, as it puts the author in control of formatting, comments etc.,
and this is how most "real-world" environments work. (Not that that
necessarily makes it better, but neither is the opposite true.) Is
someone willing to write up a brief comparison between the two
approaches?
