I thought of that too but I don't know if you can print from Emacs. I guess
you probably can, there isn't much Emacs can't do.

Emacs language modes are so good you can often (always?) catch syntax errors
in many programming languages even before you try compiling. When Emacs
screws up the indentation or mangles the code when you're editing there's a
darn good chance you have a syntax error!
