Just like go has gofmt, and other languages have the equivalent, we want an option in the aeon compiler that automatically formats sugar files.

To implement:

The sugar parser/AST should be more of a concrete syntax tree (consider blank lines and comments)
A pretty printer should take the sugar AST and return a properly formatted file (ideally parameterized by whether we want terminal colors for highlighting errors on the terminal, and by the line length.

A pretty good resource for this is Phillip Wadler's Prettier Pretty Printer and its several implementations on Github.
