Re: issue HASH-TABLE-PRINTED-REPRESENTATION

[masinter.pa@Xerox.COM]

I like Kent's idea 

" I (KMP) made a note to myself that since #S(ARRAY ...) and 
 #S(HASH-TABLE ...) couldn't possibly be meaningful, one might define
 #S to be the generalized constructor for things other than structures.
 So #S(ARRAY ...) could be used to print arrays with attributes that
 would otherwise be lost. eg, #S(ARRAY :CONTENTS ... :FILL-POINTER ...).
 Similarly, #S(HASH-TABLE :CONTENTS ... :SIZE ...) for the cases where
 hairy options wanted to be shown. #A and the simpler #H notation could
 then be used unless some option variable were set that said to really
 print the full-blown info."


However, this issue is not going anywhere -- there were certainly
more No's than Yes's to proceed with the latest draft.
