Description
I just switched over from the java protobuf libraries to wire with the kotlin generation and so far everything is really great. The one thing that would be nice to have is if the toString method coul "pretty print" the proto class similar to how the java library does it, i.e. with newlines and indentation. Right now it makes it really difficult to see the contents of a proto if I just quickly want to debug it.

Research direction
Locate the Kotlin-generated proto class toString entry point and compare its output with the Java protobuf library's pretty-print behavior. Done means a proto's string representation uses readable newlines and indentation for quick debugging.
