I guess writing a pretty printer is your only chance, maybe something
like this will do:
a: [item-1-id [value 0 mail [foo--bar--com]] item-2-id [value 1 mail
[foo--baz--com]]]
parse a [
some [
set id word! (print [id "["])
into [
some [
set name word!
set val any-type!
(print [ " " name val ])
]
(print "]")
]
]
]
which gives
item-1-id [
value 0
mail [foo--bar--com]
]
item-2-id [
value 1
mail [foo--baz--com]
]
I hope that helps,
Ingo
