    (SEND <foo>-CLASS 'PRINT) results in ILOPR.
    so does the sending of a variety of other msgs, including :PRINT-SELF.
    Admittedly, the :PRINT-SELF msg might require all those silly extra
    args that PRINT-OBJECT takes, but why can't the PRINT methods default
    them to appropriate values?
      At least, it shouldn't ILOPR, but die more gracefully.

Why not fix LISP's LSUBR calling sequence, which is at fault here?
Note that the PRINT method is an OBSOLETE name for :PRINT-SELF.
Why not just call the function PRINT, which does the defaulting for
you?
