Comment from Samuel Gougeon -- March 16, 2018, 11:08:37 PM    
Hello Manas,

When trying define(), i was wondering about a "p" option -- for
"printing" -- in order to
format and display the definitions in the console in a nice way (long lines wrapped and
indented, "!" removed, etc).

Do you plan such an option, or you consider keeping only the returned value and the raw
default display?

Best regards
Samuel
