FWIW, if there are width limitations in the widget that DrRacket shows
the type information, DrRacket may be able to pretty-print s-expressions
better to fit than strings.

Also, as far as TR is concerned it doesn't matter that much if it
outputs s-exps or strings since internally we just pretty-print types as
s-exps in a mostly standard way anyway (aside from indentation rules).

Cheers,
