For Current Practice, IIM Common Lisp prints pathnames with the syntax
#.(parse-namestring "asdf" "host"). The reason for using this convention is
that for some strings you need to know what parsing conventions to use in order
to get back an equivalent pathname. And yes, I agree it is ugly and verbose.
