While I agree the original print() should be preserved, the simple
fact of life is I have not used it since Gabriel introduced his
version. Currently I am mostly using modification of Pete's
smart_print(), pretty much the same thing, and I am sure it, or a
variant of it, would be very desirable addition to misc.e, under
a different name, perhaps.
On a related topic, I think the standard error files would greatly
benefit from a similar treatment. Currently we get ugly, difficult to
scan terribly long mixtures. For example
box = {53'5',110'n',263,244}
name = {101'e',117'u',112'p',104'h',111'o',114'r',105'i',97'a'}
Would it not be much nicer and more intelligent to get
box = {53,110,263,244}
name = {101,117,112,104,111,114,105,97}"euphoria" ?
