- The problem here is that the CLOS standard requires no default readable
- printing method, and the two implementations to which I have access (Allegro
- 4.1 and Genera 8.1.1) do not provide any. In fact, I am not sure that one can
- portably define (without implementation conditionals) a readable print-function
- for a CLOS object. If you set *print-readably* to T, then try to create CLOS
- objects or define classes (from the command line), you get errors. I know
- there are ways to do what I am trying to do. What I want to know is whether
- there are easy ways.
