Write the value of this object to the specified output `stream` in a human‐readable format, and return a reference to `stream`. Optionally specify an initial indentation `level`, whose absolute value is incremented recursively for nested objects. If `level` is specified, optionally specify `spacesPerLevel`, whose absolute value indicates the number of spaces per indentation level for this and all of its nested objects. If `level` is negative, suppress indentation of the first line. If `spacesPerLevel` is negative, format the entire output on one line, suppressing all but the initial indentation (as governed by `level`). If `stream` is not valid on entry, this operation has no effect. Note that this human‐readable format is not fully specified, and can change without notice.
