I have an idea to use this for the pretty printer so it that produces
the correct spacing while printing.  I think this would end up faster
than calling indent-sexp afterwards.  But it would involve dispatching
on STREAM, and according to the comments in cl-generic.el multiple
dispatch adds more apply calls.  Thoughts?
