    r"""
    Print the var name/value passed to it.  If the caller lets loc_col1_width
    default, the printing lines up nicely with output generated by the
    print_time functions.

    Note that the sprint_var function (defined below) can be used to call this
    function so that the programmer does not need to pass the var_name.
    sprint_var will figure out the var_name.  The sprint_var function is the
    one that would normally be used by the general user.

    For example, the following python code:

    first_name = "Mike"
    print_time("Doing this...\n")
    print_varx("first_name", first_name)
    print_time("Doing that...\n")

    Will generate output like this:

    #(CDT) 2016/08/10 17:34:42.847374 -    0.001285 - Doing this...
    first_name:                                       Mike
    #(CDT) 2016/08/10 17:34:42.847510 -    0.000136 - Doing that...

    This function recognizes several complex types of data such as dict, list
    or tuple.

    For example, the following python code:

    my_dict = dict(one=1, two=2, three=3)
    print_var(my_dict)

    Will generate the following output:

    my_dict:
      my_dict[three]:                                 3
      my_dict[two]:                                   2
      my_dict[one]:                                   1

    Description of arguments.
    var_name                        The name of the variable to be printed.
    var_value                       The value of the variable to be printed.
    hex                             This indicates that the value should be
                                    printed in hex format.  It is the user's
                                    responsibility to ensure that a var_value
                                    contains a valid hex number.  For string
                                    var_values, this will be interpreted as
                                    show_blanks which means that blank values
                                    will be printed as "<blank>".  For dict
                                    var_values, this will be interpreted as
                                    terse format where keys are not repeated
                                    in the output.
    loc_col1_indent                 The number of spaces to indent the output.
    loc_col1_width                  The width of the output column containing
                                    the variable name.  The default value of
                                    this is adjusted so that the var_value
                                    lines up with text printed via the
                                    print_time function.
    trailing_char                   The character to be used at the end of the
                                    returned string.  The default value is a
                                    line feed.
