Hey, let's be candid here; the decision is Rob's. While
I'd *prefer* to have print() changed, if he's just flat
not going to do it, I'd rather have a new routine than
nothing. His concern does have a sliver of validity
(i.e., printing sequences in their structural form), but
even if he decides to cling to that sliver, he could
STILL provide a form of the needed routine.
