I will update the docs.

Yes, it is not intrinsically related.  However, it is very easy for
users to end up with huge objects when a pretty-printer is installed.
That is, I think pretty-printing makes an existing problem more
noticeable.

AFAIK, no front end is currently using this function.  So, I can
remove it if you would prefer that.
