You win. My keyboard made minor errors.

The idea is still the same. When a programmer formats his/her code
and/or comments carefully, pretty printers destroy it. Here is another
example, FORTRAN only, in which you have a useful comment table that
explains things (again, you need a fixed width font).

c variable Initial Value Meaning Permanence
c --------- ------------- ------------------ ----------
a = 5 ! Happiness quotient Transitory
b = 17 ! Unhappiness factor Changeable
garbage = 3 ! Time differential Irrelevant
silly = 5.23 ! Semantics Who cares?
example = 18 ! Meaningfulness A lifetime
ohmy = 999 ! Wizard of Oz Forever

Again, a pretty printer will kill all this extremely useful
information. If you casually apply a pretty printer to tens of
thousands of lines of code, and that gets passed on to the next
benighted programmer, you will lose something he/she will need to
understand.

Enough.
