Formatter

I like the formatter.  At first I found things were a bit too vertical, but
since I changed SmalltalkFormatter>>maxLineSize to return 100, I'm growing
fond of it *s*.

I've made that "configurable" (well a class variable) for the release. I'm
also hoping to include Don & John's new "configurable" formatter which John
has kindly sent me.

One other thing that I think should be configurable is the formatters
changing of numeric constants to decimal (unless it is optional and I didn't
spot where it can be changed?). If I type 2r10101010 into a method I usually
do it for a reason (documentation if nothing else) and I think the formatter
should leave it alone if possible.

True, and that came up in an e-mail interchange I had with John a week or so
ago. It turns out that it has been addressed, but may require RB Parser
modifications that we may not be able to adopt at this late stage.
