Would anyone care to take a look at the revised version of the
proposal? It's in another e-mail on this thread.
There are still a few kinks, such as:
- How to properly handle large values. Right now we have a policy of
not pretty-printing if the print representation is above some arbitrary
value; should we make use of `print-length` and `print-level` to ensure
that the print representation is always "reasonable"? Or is `describe-
variable` expected to always show the whole value?
- Handling sequences that cannot be operated on with standard sequence
functions like "length", e.g. rings. This one was a surprise, but
should not be too hard to fix.
- Syntax tables. For some reason, syntax table print in front of the
"Its value is:" prompt; I've yet to figure out why.
Thanks,
TX
