* Sam Steingold <sds@usa.net>
| what should (let ((*print-readably* t)) (princ "zz")) print?  "zz" or zz?

 "PRINC is just like PRIN1 except that the output has no escape characters.
  It binds *PRINT-ESCAPE* to false and *PRINT-READABLY* to false."

  that's quoted from the HyperSpec (with symbol names upcased by me).
