With this update, repl-print becomes 'friendly' wrt > large (huge) lists, arrays, srfi-4 butevoectors ... Note that it’s already possible to do this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- scheme@(guile-user)> ,use (ice-9 pretty-print) scheme@(guile-user)> ,o print (lambda (repl obj) (truncated-print obj) (newline)) scheme@(guile-user)> (iota 500) $20 = (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 # …) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So the question becomes: should we change the default? I have a slight preference for keeping the default as it is to avoid surprises, but no strong opinion. Andy, Mark, others, WDYT? Ludo’.
