Ah, I see. No, this would definitely be a terrible hack which we should
avoid!

After all this feedback, I think the best solution would be to start
with
one of my originally proposed solutions (either a new function, or
having
pretty_inspect accepting a parameter), and either throwing an exception
or 
returning nil if the conversion can't be done.
