It would be oh so much clearer to handle it this way:

    (write `(manifest ,name
                  (version ,version)
                  ...) output)

This would read back properly, but it is not pretty enough to be human- readable. So I'm trying to have that cake and eat it too, pretty code and pretty output.

So what you really want is a parameterized pretty-printer where such formatting rules can be indicated. That should be possible to add to the current implementation. The biggest problem is the API. What is the form of these rules?
