Wish my datatypes came with fun little GUIs.

Yeah, one thing that is tricky is that you can have multiple representations for this stuff, so you might want to use a non-canonical module system for it. And switching between views can be handy for different stuff.

I've been unsure where to store this 'state' on the term graph. Like, is it a local preference, or something shared between programmers?

This is me probably over-thinking stuff, and in the mode of a language designer - you could probably do something less fancy in Haskell if you just wanted to use deriving or something.
Oh I am *definitely* over-thinking this all :D

In CLIM, you present a value by implementing a method specialized on the type of the value. I guess you could think of it as a type class or a Rust trait. Even better if you specialize on type of value and type of output target.
