Why does TYO and TYI print with a |TTY:* *| in the middle yet namestring
goes and returns (MERGEF <stuff-in-middle-of-printname> DEFAULTF)
which is => |TTY:KMP;_LISP_ >| which is ugly.
Why does (NAMESTRING MY-SFA) where my SFA looks like #SFA-|Console Output|-...
return |DSK:KMP;_LISP_ >| ....??? That's pretty random. In fact,
(NAMESTRING T) and (NAMESTRING NIL) return that too and I'm not sure they
should.
If SFA's ever get repaired, it would be nice if NAMESTRING and NAMELIST
could be potential ops to them.
