Whoops. That seems right. I was just going by the fact that there was a
colorizing goodie before pretty printing made it in.

Indeed, the colorizing code is not, as I had assumed, derived from the
colorizing goodie (which tended to over-colorized, thought some of it's
default color choices seem better, the green on the green pane doesn't
really work).

It might be worth a look at that goodie just so such functionality can be
(easily) had. (The Squeak Swiki Goodies page has links, and the 2.x version
is at: <http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Helge.Horch/SqueakSharesSoar.html>.)

Of course, it was parser based, so I guess it really won't separate the
functionality. Hmm. What's the best way to support multiple outputs from
the parse tree? (I'm thinking an html outputting formatter might be nice as
well.)
