dict Format Nesting

[amydevs]

Specification

Currently the dict format does just stringifes nested objects.

Instead, we want the object to displayed with the same dict formatter, with some right padding to indicate it is the inner value of the key above it.

We want to use 2 spaces ( ) as the indent, as \t is simply too big.

This should look like:

key1
  key2    value
  key3
    key4    value

It only matters that the values are aligned for each nesting layer. This should look like

key1    value
key2
  key3          value
  reallyLongKey value

Arrays will have their values be listed underneath a key

arrayKey
  value1
  value2
  value3
  value4

Optiing out

To opt out of this behaviour:

• Use [].join(",") for Arrays. We have been using doing this for single-lined arrays already, so we should keep this up.
