BTW, any chance of some time to help with the pprint/format ansi
tests?

As you all may know, we've implemented a number of the pprint
functions natively.  They need a bit of organization and fixing.
M. Koehne did some of the work, and I did some.  I took a look
recently at an older suggestion to import R. Water's xp, which was
apparently accepted into the standard whole.  No sense reinventing the
wheel.  Also was told that cmucl and clisp did the same.  At least
cmucl has modified the code heavily.  Have noticed that xp is quite
involved, and wonder if the decision to rewrite was motivated by
overhead.  Finally, loading xp into GCL does not pass all of Paul's
tests to begin with.  So I am soliciting advice as to whether we
proceed to write the remaining functions or try to use xp.

Take care,
