Transform result of print-unreadable-object into string or a symbol?

[dietz@ticco.ccipe.montp.inserm.fr]

Hello,

printing a CLOS object results in something like that:

#<#SET #345>

This is the outcome of the function print-object (which calls print-unreadable-object).
Is it possible to make a string or a symbol out of such a representation?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

	Andreas
