I guess you'll work on this later in the patch series you're sending,
but its worth noting making pretty_print_info::format_decoder a virtual
function is non-trivial, it turns out to be important that some
consumers can leave it null instead of making it what is currently
default_tree_printer. This is because gcov and maybe other things link
against diagnostic.c and pretty-print.c but not all the tree stuff that
would be required for default_tree_printer.
