This is not feasible using print and read, since not all lisp objects
are printable readably.

Wow, Pascal. Nice phrase. May I use it from time to time?
As a native speaker, I think that should be "readably printable".

I don't think so, because readability is the result, not the manner of
printing.  "readily printable", but "printable readably".  It is
"printable in a readable manner", not "in a readable manner printable".

Ah, yes!
