Thanks! :-) > Could the *print-level* cutoff > indicator be something more visible than '#'? Maybe '#=(...)' or > something. I went with Common Lisp precedent. Thinking about it further, it seems it would be nice to use something that's guaranteed unreadable. As it is now, it will be a \# followed by a collection-dependent separator or by a collection-dependent "end" character (like \) or \] or \}). Perhaps it would be better to print a known, fixed dispatch character right after the \# so that the entire thing is guaranteed unreadable. Do we have a dispatch character reserved for that already? > I've attached a patch to add *print-str-length* that does the same > thing for strings: > > user=> (set! *print-str-length* 30) > 30 > user=> (slurp "bigfile.xml") > "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"..." > user=> (count *1) > 2540 Neat.
