PrettyFsi

PrettyFsi is an F# Interactive table printer.

It's my contribution to the F# Advent Calendar, 11th Door, organized by Sergey Tihon - thank you very much for organizing this event :)

Important * PrettyFsi isn't a full-blown electric toy christmas present. It's more like a piece of chocolate in your advent calendar. * It's born from my daily needs. * I'm interested in other requirements and needs that could help, and there are quite a few TODOs. So feel free to raise an issue in case something doesn't work for you!
