 The following program:

 {{{
 (use extras)
 (set! foo `(foo bar: bar baz: baz qux: qux))
 (pretty-print `(,@foo ,@foo ,@foo))
 (exit)
 }}}

 Produces the following output:

 {{{
 (foo bar:
      bar
      baz:
      baz
      qux:
      qux
      foo
      bar:
      bar
      baz:
      baz
      qux:
      qux
      foo
      bar:
      bar
      baz:
      baz
      qux:
      qux)
 }}}

 I think the output should instead be:

 {{{
 (foo bar: bar
      baz: baz
      qux: qux
      foo
      bar: bar
      baz: baz
      qux: qux
      foo
      bar: bar
      baz: baz
      qux: qux)
 }}}

 That is, the keyword and it's argument should be on the same line.

 This is a stylistic issue, but I hope I'm not the only who thinks pretty-
 print would look prettier in the second format.
