:: A `plum` is the intermediate representation for the pretty-printer. It
:: encodes hoon-shaped data with the least amount of structured needed
:: for formating.
::
:: A `plum` is either a
::
:: - `cord`: A simple cord
:: - `[%para *]`: A wrappable paragraph.
:: - `[%tree *]`: A formatted plum tree
:: - `[%sbrk *]`: An indication of a nested subexpression.
::
:: The formatter will use the tall mode unless:
::
:: - A plum has only a `wide` style.
:: - The plum is in `%sbrk` form and its subplum (`kid`), when
:: formatted in wide mode, can fit on a single line.

:: A `plumfmt` is a description of how to render a `plum`. A `plumfmt`
:: must include a `wide`, a `tall`, or both.
::
:: A `wide` is a description of how to render a plum in a single
:: line. The nested (`kids`) sub-plums will be interleaved with `delimit`
:: strings, and, if `enclose` is set, then the output will be enclosed
:: with `p.u.enclose` and `q.u.enclose`.
::
:: For example, to build a plumfmt for string literals, we could write:
::
:: [wide=[~ '' [~ '"' '"']] tall=~]
::
:: A `tall` is a description of how to render a plum across multiple
:: lines. The output will be prefixed by `intro`, suffixed by
:: `final.u.indef`, and each subplum prefixed by `sigil.u.indef`.
::
:: For example, to build a plumfmt for cores, we could write:
::
:: [wide=~ tall=`['' `['++' '--']]]
::
+$ plumfmt
$: wide=(unit [delimit=tile enclose=(unit (pair tile tile))])
