This tool is for supporting the libraries. As long as the tool works and is useful to some of the libraries I don't see why the review is necessary. Or to put it differently, what is the benefit of a REJECT outcome from a formal review of pretty_printers?

Given how this tool generates code that is directly part of Boost
libraries I think a review would help in getting approval that it does
things in a way that authors will accept.
