I think it’s nice, at least at this stage, that it’s
human-readable—“premature optimization is the root of all evil”.  :-)

I guess it won’t be difficult to make the format more dense eventually
if that is deemed necessary, using ‘write’ instead of ‘pretty-print’,
using tricks like you write, or even going binary as a last resort.
