Note that it’s already possible to do this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> ,use (ice-9 pretty-print)
scheme@(guile-user)> ,o print (lambda (repl obj) (truncated-print obj)
(newline))
scheme@(guile-user)> (iota 500)
$20 = (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
27 # …)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So the question becomes: should we change the default?
I have a slight preference for keeping the default as it is to avoid
surprises, but no strong opinion.
Andy, Mark, others, WDYT?
Ludo’.
