GHC pretty printer philosophy

[Alan & Kim Zimmerman]

Richard

Thanks for the support.  The major change in HsSyn since the pretty printer
was first written is that the parser now preserves parens in the original
source, which it did not used to, so this approach is now feasible.

And I am starting to bump into tests failing which require updating the
generic deriving code to add parens.
