Use a pretty-printer and polish formatting of output

[mgsloan]

I think it'd be a good idea to start using a pretty printer! ansi-wl-pprint fits the task quite nicely.

Bonus points would be to use annotated-wl-pprint, and use the annotations to do the same thing that ansi-wl-pprint can do with coloring text and such. (I imagine those annotations would also make a good addition to that libary)

I'm imagining having some utility functions that allow you to do $logPretty, $logPrettyError, or $logPrettyWarn. When used, these would have the type (MonadLogger m, HasPrettyOptions env, MonadReader env m) => Doc -> m (). In other words, we need to be able to log the output and have pretty options to pass to the pretty printer. These changes would mostly happen in Stack.Types.StackT.

Wut?! No reactions 😞

I'm pumped for this!

Unless the point got a bit blurred out without screenshots; I feel a bit lonely in haskellandia

I imagine that the lack of responses is more representative of there not being more info to add / not wanting to paint the bikeshed. In other words, people may be tacitly excited. Feel free to implement! :D

I've implemented this!
