I want to see this get into the upcoming release.
So in summary, we want *print-circle* be NIL again. And we want
*print-level* to be set. Shall we say 10? Should we leave
*print-length* alone?
(In some of my debugging, *print-level* of 10 is too small; I sometimes
make it 20 or even 50, because the part I want to see is nested pretty
deeply. But it's ok if the default is 10.)
