I agree it is not that important. But now I do wonder what then, in general,
would provide a more readable way for printing lisp expressions.

I can't quite remember writing any command that would pretty-print a
Lisp _expression_ when called interactively -- when a command displays
information to the user, pp-ing a Lisp _expression_ is usually not the
most readable way.
