Sometimes self-contained, perfectly functional PS programs get pretty hard
to decipher, because a lot of procedure definitions are made, operators are
redefined, etc. Does anyone know of a program that could eat a legal, but 
cryptic PS program and spew out Red Book standard PS? Obviously, the
output would be far larger than the input, but possibly it might be easier to
debug. If no such beast exists, do people think it would be hard or easy to
create?  What sort of issues would have to be confronted? Does anyone else
besides me think it would be useful?

PS: Icing on the cake would be a pretty-print formatter, if this isn't
too ridiculous for PostScript. (Is there such a thing as pretty PS?)
