We have not yet responded to RWK's comment, viz "Want less generic names.
eg, maybe STREAM-xxx".
What do you think about STREAM-LINE-WIDTH, STREAM-WRITE-SPACE, etc?
I don't really like the STREAM-xxx but can live with it as a compromise if it
will get this thing passed.
STREAM-LINE-WIDTH is ok with me.
STREAM-WRITE-SPACE seems redundant since WRITE is already a stream operation.
I guess I'd prefer just WRITE-SPACE.
LINE-POSITION could be STREAM-LINE-POSITION, conforming to the STREAM-xxx idea.
PRINTED-WIDTH is misleadingly named (in my opinion) because the function PRINT
is not involved. Since I think STREAM-WRITTEN-WIDTH looks a little weird,
I guess I'd like something like STREAM-STRING-WIDTH better.
