I personally like it the way it is. With a space after each comma,
I can perceive especially big tables faster and more reliable than
without. Maybe other people want an option to drop that. On the other
hand, to keep it simple, IMHO there shouldn't be too many options.

Just personal preference. "pp" was on the tip of my tongue as acronym
for "pretty print", but mainly I like it, if frequently used names are
short and simple to type.
