The `pr` family of functions prints data as readable data by default (with
*print-readably* defaulted to true - this happens in RT).
The `print` family of functions wraps the `pr` family and turns off this
behavior by binding *print-readably* to nil.
So I think when surrounding a pr with a print, you should expect print's
behavior as the expected behavior (no quotes). So, I would say, not a bug.
Admittedly, intermingling these is confusing.
