I meant: a nice way to experiment this *outside of the stdlib*.  We don’t have official generic function yet, so I’ll wait to see if pprint gets rewritten and/or if we get a generic functions PEP and standard module.

Sorry if these issues I opened are consuming your time; I wanted to make sure we considered the proposals separately and add a good rationale for rejecting them.  Thanks for weighing in.
