I found the function cl-prettyprint, but it doesn't seem to be
as actively inserting new lines and tabs as I'd like.  Contrast

;; cl-prettyprint

  (projects logic FEM HDM (hacking-emacs todl-mode tex-mode) Inform)
  (appointments thursday-at-5:45 friday-at-7)))

;; my version

Are there any more flexible routines out there for pretty printing?
