Indeed, now that the majority of C and C++ tree nodes are GENERIC,
the foo.c.t03.original dump is useless, because the c/cxx-pretty-print
routines don't know about the bulk of GENERIC.  And one would have to
replicate most of tree-pretty-print.c to do so.  Which would be silly.

I would like to see the pretty-print callbacks turn into langhooks.
Or rather one langhook, since I don't see the point of 23 (!) hooks.
