 This is not good news. Not being able to turn off automatic formatting,
regardless of how customizable it is, seems a serious mistake... in fact,
I'm now having second thoughts about ordering the upgrade.
 
 I'm resisting the impulse to flame, since I think both LSC and LSP are
generally pretty wonderful, and have taken their share of bashing on the
net already, But p-p-pleeeeeeease...let it be noted, as an advance response
to the questionnaire on the LSP 2.0 order form:  I despise LSP's automatic
pretty printer. The questions regarding it on the order form seem to
imply that it could go away, if enough people voice their dislike...
