this is useful to declare on-the-fly a new sort which replaces
a complex type. Otherwise, the printer has to traverse any term
twice: first, to detect complex types, second, to print the term.

directly in the printer.

On the same example as in the previous commits, this gives 5x
acceleration together with some memory usage reduction.

Transformations can also specify from which metas and labels they
depend, and add informations about how they are interpreted.

TODO:

  - when a transformation use Trans.on_meta, it should be possible to
    add an interpretation of the metas in the documentation.
  - recover a summary version of --list-* ?
  - be able to export in latex?
