Sure, fine, whatever. It doesn't matter much what format we use. Except that
adding parens might confuse things for Lisp values that are lists: ((foo bar)).

A more general formatting problem is that the Lisp values might be quite long.
Some kind of abbreviation is probably called for. And we still need something to
indicate `other value'.
