I don’t have a specific use case at the moment. My suggestions are not easily implementable, in my opinion, unless the property file descriptors are annotated parameters. That’s why you need two passes at this point.

I’m satisfied with the examples listed as prior art in the documentation. I’ll share any more interesting ones should I encounter them.

I’m inclined to agree with you. That was my initial reaction when I first discovered Pretty Printer as well. It still requires two passes. I , somehow, got the impression that it’d take four passes. Maybe, I wasn’t thinking too clearly. It depends on how many command-line implementations do something similar. If it’s uncommon, it’s best to let the application developer do it. If it’s increasingly common, then it becomes expected behaviour. Then, the API might need to provide that.
