     API for users to determine how their objects are formatted. The following
     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.

     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`
