Why not give [1] a try?  I've tweaked it to remove the spacing which
you and Bert don't like.  Even though I think its a mistake to remove
this whitespace, we could at least have a pretty-print that is usable
OOTB and based on a known and thought-out rationale that suits
Smalltalk.  Does anyone know the origins of the formatting we have
now?

[1] -- Compiler-cmm.323 in the Inbox.  I believe its at least 90% Kent
Beckian, but there are one or two corner-case bugs I couldn't figure
out how to solve..
