    logic is used to find a function to format an given object.

    1. The object is introspected to see if it has a method with the name
       :attr:`print_method`. If is does, that object is passed to that method
       for formatting.
    2. If no print method is found, three internal dictionaries are consulted

       and :attr:`deferred_printers`.

    Users should use these dictionaries to register functions that will be
    used to compute the format data for their objects (if those objects don't
    have the special print methods). The easiest way of using these
    dictionaries is through the :meth:`for_type` and :meth:`for_type_by_name`
    methods.

    format_dict : dict
        A dictionary of key/value pairs, one or each format that was
        generated for the object. The keys are the format types, which
        will usually be MIME type strings and the values and JSON'able
        data structure containing the raw data for the representation in
        that format.
    include : list or tuple, optional
        A list of format type strings (MIME types) to include in the
        format data dict. If this is set *only* the format types included

        A list of format type string (MIME types) to exclue in the format
        data dict. If this is set all format types will be computed,
