I think --pretty is enough and you do not have to say --pretty=medium, but
as long as we are being explicit, we'd better be fully explicit to future
proof them.

The list of in-tree users and places match what I found with my quick
review, which hopefully means both of us did our best effort to catch
potential breakages.

Thanks.
