Regarding this, I once stumbled about the `tree_print_code` class [1], used
in `__get_cmdline_fcn_txt__` [2], used in `type.m`.

It does pretty printing of command line functions, for example:

>> % Ugly one line function with preceding comment
>> function y = f(x); y = x; endfunction;
>> type f
f is the command-line function:

## Ugly one line function with preceding comment

function y = f (x)
  y = x;
endfunction

The code of [1] looks pretty much like doing this, even with indention.  I
don't know where this class is used/was used for.  But as you see, the
original code was not preserved, thus I did not investigate further.
