16:17:55selwyn" If these rules are not obeyed, the results are undefined. "
16:22:10selwynin particular, not following the prescriptions regarding *print-circle* could lead to an otherwise unexpected unbounded amount of output to the printer which could, for example, break a REPL session
16:30:10selwynno problem. well, actually i am not so sure about my most recent argument. but avoiding undefined behaviour is certainly reason enough to follow the rules.
