pretty printer: Unit applied to type constructor is printed with !

Some 3 is printed as Some 3, but Some () is printed as !Some.

I'm guessing that there's some logic to pretty-print unit being applied to a thunk (a function) that is also being applied to type constructors.

> Some 3

> Some ()

You can also see this applied to custom type constructors.

structural type Wrapper a = Wrapper a

.> add

> Wrapper 3

> Wrapper ()
