Would it be possible to take advantage of the as_formatted method to
print one line per field rather than one line per subfield?  I
personally would find the one line per field much more useful because
the display is more compact and it would then allow you to do greps
within a field.  For instance, you could printout an entire file and
then grep to find all 650 fields that contain a particular string.  I
know, of course, that you can do that with a MARC::Record program
itself, but sometimes you just want to print out a file and poke around
in it.

I'm not necessarily asking how to modify the as_formatted method so
much as I'm asking if there's an easy way to take advantage of that
method to print one line per field, while retaining the tag, indicators,
and subfield codes.  I don't want to use as_string, because that deletes
the subfields.
