Re: Issue: PRINT-CIRCLE-STRUCTURE (Version 1)

[Scott.Fahlman@B.GP.CS.CMU.EDU]

Jonl,

Since Lucid has this running, can you comment (or get someone there to
comment) on the accuracy of Chris's guess that it shouldn't be too hard to
implement this?  In your implementation, does the outer print communicate
with the inner one by some set of special variables that are visible across
the invocation of the user's structure-printing function?  Do you know of
any "gotchas" that have to be addressed in the proposal -- odd interactions
between circle printing and things the user might do in his unrestricted
print function, for example?  I'd feel a lot better about this proposal if
we had some real experience to base it on (and maybe even some example
implementation code to copy).
