Description
The following program:
(use extras) (set! foo `(foo bar: bar baz: baz qux: qux)) (pretty-print `(,@foo ,@foo ,@foo)) (exit)
Produces the following output:
(foo bar:
bar
baz:
baz
qux:
qux
foo
bar:
bar
baz:
baz
qux:
qux
foo
bar:
bar
baz:
baz
qux:
qux)
I think the output should instead be:
(foo bar: bar
baz: baz
qux: qux
foo
bar: bar
baz: baz
qux: qux
foo
bar: bar
baz: baz
qux: qux)
That is, the keyword and it's argument should be on the same line.
This is a stylistic issue, but I hope I'm not the only who thinks pretty-print would look prettier in the second format.
