Though #(*unspecified* *unspecified* *unspecified*) is not actually an alternative, being a vector of three symbols. Cough cough. (vector *unspecified* *unspecified* *unspecified*) does read back properly but of course that does not turn *unspecified* into an actual print form of *unspecified*. Sorry for this particular brain fart. -- David Kastrup
