Arrays don't round-trip

[snadrus]

package main

import (
"fmt"
"github.com/kr/pretty"
)

type Foo struct {
S []string
}

func main() {
actual := Foo{
S: []string{"a", "b", "c"},
}

fmt.Println(pretty.Sprint(actual))
/* Prints:
main.Foo{
    S:  {"a", "b", "c"},
}
*/

// Would error:
/*
  result := Foo{
      S:  {"a", "b", "c"},
  }
*/

}

The output of this package is for humans, not compilers.

I admit, this purpose isn't clearly stated anywhere. I consider this a documentation bug.

I've been using this package to print complex objects, visually verify
them, and copy-paste them into a unit test as an expected result.

Would you accept a PR for this, or should I fork the repo for my needs?
