Pretty printing on strings

val horiz_vertic : (unit -> 'a) -> (unit -> 'a) -> 'a
horiz_vertic h v first calls h to print the data horizontally, i.e. without newlines. If the displaying contains newlines or if its size exceeds the maximum line length (see variable line_length below), then the function h stops and the function v is called which can print using several lines.
val sprintf : ('a, unit, string) Pervasives.format -> 'a
sprintf fmt ... formats some string like Printf.sprintf does, except that, if it is called in the context of the *first* function of horiz_vertic above, it checks whether the resulting string has chances to fit in the line. If not, i.e. if it contains newlines or if its length is greater than max_line_length.val, the function gives up (raising some internal exception). Otherwise the built string is returned. sprintf behaves like Printf.sprintf if it is called in the context of the *second* function of horiz_vertic or without context at all.
val line_length : int Pervasives.ref
line_length is the maximum length (in characters) of the line. Default = 78. Can be set to any other value before printing.
val horizontally : unit -> bool
horizontally () returns the fact that the context is an horizontal print.
