Package contents:
-------_---------
zpp.lua        -- Wadler's Pretty Printer (undocumented, sorry)
luapp.lua      -- Pretty Printer for lua structures
errfmt.lua     -- error formatter

Some Notes:
-----------

For using lua pretty printer you shoud place files zpp.lua, errfmt.lua
and luapp.lua somewhere in your $LUA_PATH. luapp module exports only
one function 'pp' with signature:

pp(any,[root-name],[page-width],[max-line-with]) -> string

@root-name -- optional name for the topmost table if you expect it to
be recvursive, default: "ROOT"

@page-width -- optional max page width, default: 78

@max-line-with -- optional fraction of the max desired line width to
the page width, default: 0.6


Minimal program:
----------------
    local M = require"luapp"
    print(M.pp(_G,"_G"))

Enjoy!
