> Take `dictdumper.Tree` for example

```python
import dictdumper
dumper = dictdumper.Tree('out.txt')
test_1 = dict(
foo = -1, # int
bar = 'Hello, world!', # string
boo = dict( # dict
foo_again = True, # bool
bar_again = b'bytes', # bytes (b'\x62\x79\x74\x65\x73')
boo_again = None, # NoneType
),
)
dumper(test_1, name='test_1')
```
```
$ cat out.txt
PCAP File Tree-View Format

test
|-- foo -> -1
|-- bar -> hello
|-- boo
|-- foo_again -> True
|-- bar_again -> 62 79 74 65 73
|-- boo_again -> N/A
```
```python
import datetime
test_2 = dict(
foo = [1, 2.0, 3], # list
bar = (1.0, 2, 3.0), # tuple
boo = dict( # dict
foo_again = 'a long long bytes',
# bytes
bar_again = datetime.datetime.today(),
# datetime
boo_again = -1.0, # float
),
)
dumper(test_2, name='test_2')
```
```
$ cat out.txt
PCAP File Tree-View Format

test_1
|-- foo -> -1
|-- bar -> Hello, world!
|-- boo
|-- foo_again -> True
|-- bar_again -> 62 79 74 65 73
|-- boo_again -> N/A

test_2
|-- foo
| |--> 1
| |--> 2.0
| |--> 3
|-- bar
| |--> 1.0
| |--> 2
| |--> 3.0
|-- boo
|-- foo_again -> a long long bytes
|-- bar_again -> 2018-03-08 17:47:35
|-- boo_again -> -1.0
