Absolutely NOT.  There are people who need to read it that don't have printers
handy, and besides that, you wouldn't want all the extra preamble tacked on it
nor would you want extensive lines of xx yy moveto (sadfasdf) show
on your screen, and I would not want to write it that way.  Documentation
should be documentation, not programs to print documentation.
