I don't understand your question. Do you never print some data at the
command-line prompt? Or even as part of small test programs?

Passing type-specific parameters to pprint/pformat sounds like a bad
idea to me. And I don't think you'd want to print *all* integers as hex.

Which is why the proposal doesn't fit well with pprint/pformat. |
