Yesterday, I was working on a method that had too many nested
ifTrue/ifFalses. I was having a hard time making sense of the mess, when
it occured to me, "Pretty print it! That'll make it cleaner to see what
matches what!" So I did -- and all of my changes disappeared. I hadn't
accepted first, and PrettyPrint works from the accepted method. And
PrettyPrint is not un-doable.
I don't know how to implement this, but I think that PrettyPrint should (a)
refuse to pretty print changed text or (b) support undo.
