0.9.1.19. Decouple code reading and printing styles

Code may come in either in code environments or in Bird-tracks. At present, it is printed in the same style as it came. This should remain the default.

However, it would be nice to be able to say (with options), "OK, print all the code as if it were in Bird-track form" (or vice versa). This allows uniform presentation, while preserving programmers' preference for typing in one style rather than the other.
