At the moment, dumping the MLDS, or selected parts of it,
- generates C code when targeting C,
- generates a pprint.doc and writes that out when targeting
  anything other than C.

However, someone sometime in the future may want to see
an MLDS dump in C syntax even in the second case, so I will leave
all the old code in mlds_to_c*.m, but document which parts are expected
to be generated only when *not* targeting C.
