+
+;; This package provides a general print handler for prin1 and princ
+;; that supports print-level and print-circle, and by the way,
+;; print-length since the standard routines are being replaced. Also,
+;; to print custom types constructed from lists and vectors, use
+;; custom-print-list and custom-print-vector. See the documentation
+;; strings of these variables for more details.
+
+;; If the results of your expressions contain circular references to
+;; other parts of the same structure, the standard Emacs print
+;; subroutines may fail to print with an untrappable error,
+;; "Apparently circular structure being printed". If you only use cdr
+;; circular lists (where cdrs of lists point back; what is the right
+;; term here?), you can limit the length of printing with
+;; print-length. But car circular lists and circular vectors generate
+;; the above mentioned untrappable error in Emacs version 18. Version
+;; 19 will support print-level, but it is often useful to get a better
+;; print representation of circular structures; the print-circle
+;; option may be used to print more concise representations.
+
+;; There are two main ways to use this package. First, you may
+;; replace prin1, princ, and some subroutines that use them by calling
+;; install-custom-print-funcs so that any use of these functions in
+;; lisp code will be affected. Second, you could call the custom
+;; routines directly, thus only affecting the printing that requires
+;; them.
+
+;; Note that subroutines which call print subroutines directly will not
+;; use the custom print functions. In particular, the evaluation
+;; functions like eval-region call the print subroutines directly.
+;; Therefore, evaluating (aref circ-list 0), which calls error
+;; directly (because circ-list is not an array), will jump to the top
+;; level instead of printing the circular list.
+
+;; Obviously the right way to implement this custom-print facility
+;; is in C. Please volunteer since I don't have the time or need.
+
+;; Implementation design: we want to use the same list and vector
+;; processing algorithm for all versions of prin1 and princ, since how
+;; the processing is done depends on print-length, print-level, and
+;; print-circle. For circle printing, a preprocessing step is
+;; required before the final printing. Thanks to Jamie Zawinski
+;; for motivation and algorithms.
