;;; Commentary:

;; 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 error in Emacs version 18.  Version
;; 19 supports print-level, but it is often useful to get a better
;; print representation of circular and shared structures; the print-circle
;; option may be used to print more concise representations.

;; There are three main ways to use this package.  First, you may
;; replace prin1, princ, and some subroutines that use them by calling
;; install-custom-print so that any use of these functions in
;; Lisp code will be affected; you can later reset with
;; uninstall-custom-print.  Second, you may temporarily install
;; these functions with the macro with-custom-print.  Third, 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, if you evaluate (aref circ-list 0), where circ-list is a
;; circular list rather than an array, aref calls error directly which
;; will jump to the top level instead of printing the circular list.

;; Uninterned symbols are recognized when print-circle is non-nil,
;; but they are not printed specially here.  Use the cl-packages package
;; to print according to print-gensym.

;; Obviously the right way to implement this custom-print facility is
;; in C or with hooks into the standard printer.  Please volunteer
;; since I don't have the time or need.  More CL-like printing
;; capabilities could be added in the future.

;; 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.
