[ Ask your sourcerer in chief ;-p ]
It is undocumented, as is the output of tree-pretty-print.c.
Would you want to remove tree-pretty-print.c too?

You see, I would not mind having a well defined interface for parsing;
but since it is for debugging purpose, I would expect some variations
in the output as needs arise and we gain better understanding of its
uses.
