The Fortran frontend doesn't use the tree pretty-printer. We generate all
error messages before generating GENERIC trees. For debugging purposes I
prefer the output look like C.
Same for GNAT. Note that Ada also has the -gnatG switch which converts
the expanded GNAT tree back into Ada pseudo-source, which is useful
to both implementors and users. For debugging back end stuff, I think it
is fine for output to look like C.
