Subject: prettyprint or pp questions

There are three things I would like to do but I am not
sure how:

1. Redirect the output to another IO -- something like

        STDERR.pp obj

2. Retrieve the text without printing it (analogous to #inspect):

        str = obj.pretty    # or whatever

3. Add pp functionality to the Date class. This doesn't work:

         class Date
           def pretty_print
             inspect
           end
         end


Thanks for assistance...
