* Simon Katz
| I want to get half the effect of binding *PRINT-ESCAPE* to False.
| When *PRINT-ESCAPE* is False, neither escape characters nor package
| prefixes are output when an expression is printed. But is there a
| way to have package prefixes printed (when necessary) and escape
| characters not printed?

  Which escape characters do you not want to see printed?

  Going on a hunch here that you have mixed-case symbol names, perhaps
  your problem is solved by tweaking the `readtable-case´, instead?

(setf *readtable* (copy-readtable))
(setf (readtable-case *readtable*) :preserve)
