Just curious, is your background Java or some similar C-style language?
I ask because folks coming from that sort of background tend to want
braces and parentheses on separate lines and fixed indentation whereas
the Lisp crowd tend to want trailing braces and "natural" indentation,
i.e., continuation lines are indented so elements line up:
(somefn arg1
(f arg2))
If I got that right the (f... should line up with arg1 above it.
It took me a while to get used to the "Clojure way" of code/data
layout but now I tend to avoid commas and just go with the flow of how
pprint or my IDE wants to format stuff and I like the concise
consistency.
Sorry that doesn't answer your question but I hope it helps explain
why the default pprint output looks the way it does?
