Recently I did a pr to hammox to use pretty printing in the inspected map.
Currently this is inspected as one line single line and it's a pain to look 
at when you have an mismatch in a struct.
The way hammox displays the errors is every nested error is padded 2 spaces 
deeper.
I had to split the inspected message and then join it with padding - I 
think that inspect should support it out of the box so we don't have to 
post process the generated message.
html is just an example where it's useful- every time I did inspect in a 
template I remember the same problem - the inspected structure is one long 
line.
