New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <belopol...@users.sourceforge.net>:

Attached patch makes python -m pickle <pickle file> unpickle the first object 
from the pickle file and display it using pprint.  Future enhancements may 
include printing the summary (object number, object type) of the multiobject 
pickles, option to control display: pprint/repr or type only, lines/columns 
limits, and selective display from multi-object pickles.

I considered adding this functionality to pickletools (see issue 9094), but 
rejected because pickletools is more oriented towards pickle protocol 
developers and this functionality may be useful for casual pickle users.
