Ohh you're advocating the inverse of what we do now ... Currently
PropertyListSerializer does the EOKVCArchiver-style. The problem is
that only sometimes (I think) would you want your dictionaries/lists
on a single line in EOModel plist files, and I don't really have
visibility into the serializer (without adding a visitor-style
interface that gets passed in) to tell the serializer when I want a
newline and when I don't. But maybe there are some simple heuristics
that we can implement that tend to always make it about right.
I think there is less of a chance of needing to read eomodel files
outside of EOModeler, though (as compared with D2W rules). At least
I have only found a couple of occasions. In those cases, I prefer
having them on separate lines, I think. Open for discussion on this
one, though.
