OK, here's my test case:

(require 'semantic/db-el)
(setq obj (semanticdb-table-emacs-lisp :major-mode "foo"))

(object-print obj)
=> "#<semanticdb-table-emacs-lisp semanticdb-table-emacs-lisp-15884632da6c 
(proxy)>"

(cl-print-object obj (current-buffer))
#<semanticdb-table-emacs-lisp semanticdb-table-emacs-lisp-15884632da6c (proxy)>

So that's the way it is with an object-print method on the object.  If I
apply the following patch, I then get identical output:

(cl-print-object obj (current-buffer))
#<semanticdb-table-emacs-lisp semanticdb-table-emacs-lisp-15884632da6c (proxy)>

That's a kind of odd object-print, though, because it contains so little
information.  But I've followed the call-next-method chain up, and
there's nothing added, so I think this change is correct?  (Because the
optional STRINGS is always nil; i.e., there are no actual direct calls
to object-print.)

If this looks reasonable to you, I can do the transforms for the other
five instances of object-print in cedet.
