;;; 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 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.
