jhc also clones a different library for the same reason (daan's pretty
printer)

but I called it OOB text for 'out-of-band' text. I use it mainly for
xterm escape codes.

I actually like Daan's pretty printer much more than the hughespj one, I
find it easier to get the layout I want and clearer in general.

would there be interest is something like DocLike in the main libraries?

I find it quite useful.
