Dear Lyx Developers --

        Thank you for an awesome program!  One thing I have dreamt about for
years is a way to have a 'pretty printing' front end for a programming
language (like C.)

        Imagine.. Instead of having to view expressions as:
        x = 3*x+23*y*sin(d1)/(d2+ra+cos(f));

You could use the pretty print features of Lyx to view this code in a
more 'natural' form.  (This is useful, trust me, after 8 hours of
programming straight, denominator/numerator errors can start popping
up.)  In fact, this could be extended to map the integral sign to a
function (although this is a more challenging endeavor.)

So, I did the natural thing, I downloaded the source, took a look at it,
and realized that I did not have the time to do anything like what I
described, but for sure, someone out there has got to have the same
frustrations I have -- and done something about it.  Have any of you
heard about such a program?

thanks
nick
