Formatter Implementations
-------------------------

Two implementations of formatter objects are provided by this module.
Most applications may use one of these classes without modification or
subclassing.

`NullFormatter([writer])'
     A formatter which does nothing.  If WRITER is omitted, a
     `NullWriter' instance is created.  No methods of the writer are
     called by `NullFormatter' instances.  Implementations should
     inherit from this class if implementing a writer interface but
     don't need to inherit any implementation.

`AbstractFormatter(writer)'
     The standard formatter.  This implementation has demonstrated wide
     applicability to many writers, and may be used directly in most
     circumstances.  It has been used to implement a full-featured
     world-wide web browser.
