Description

Is it possible to specify that a different printer (which would conform to the same API and support the same type of AST) should be used when printing code?

As an example, if I had to print code to match the jQuery preferred style, I would need a printer that adds whitespace to the inside of all bracket tokens (among other things).

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing printer API and AST handling, then determine the intended extension boundary; done would require a clear decision and documented behavior for supplying an alternate compatible printer.
