Dear Cafe,

what is today's answer to this old question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9761507/which-pretty-print-library

In particular, I agree with author's:
"The thing that worries me about these [many pretty-printing libraries]
is that many of them have many releases. This implies they've had
features added, bugs fixed, etc. But have they all had the same
bugs fixed?"

Meanwhile, there's https://hackage.haskell.org/package/prettyprinter
"This package solves all these issues, and then some."
(clearly an instance of https://xkcd.com/927/ )

GHC is using pretty-1.1.3.6 ?
