So I have a situation where I want to spool out a data structure as a file
where I want to be able for a human to read & modify this structure, and
then be able to read it back in.  At first I thought this was going to be
easy- just use print to write out the structure, and then use read to read
it back in.  Unfortunately, this doesn't work- see, the structure contains
strings, and print drops the quote marks off the strings.  I don't think
setting *print-readably* is what I want either, although I'm not sure-
playing around with it, it doesn't seem to affect the behavior of print at
all (that I can tell).

So, my question is this: is there a way to print a structure out in a
fashion that it can be read back in correctly (i.e. with strings being
quoted), and without having to write my own print function?

Thanks.

Brian
