%% pretty_format:term(Term) -> PNF list of characters
%%   
%% Note: this is usually used in expressions like:
%%	 io:format('~s\n', [pretty_format:term(Term)]).
%%
%% Uses the following simple heuristics:
%%
%% 1) Simple tuples are printed across the page.
%%    (Simple means *all* the elements are "flat")
%% 2) The complex tuple {Arg1, Arg2, Arg3,....} is printed thus:
%%       {Arg1,
%%        Arg2,
%%        Arg3,
%%        ...}
%% 3) Lists are treated as for tuples.
%% 4) Lists of printable characters are treated as strings.
%%
%% This method seems to work reasonable well for {Tag, ...} type
%% data structures.
