GOOPS turns several procedures into methods, such as 'write'.  I think
I've defined special write methods in the past for this purpose.  Here
is a basic and silly example:

scheme@(guile-user)> (define-class <foo> ())
scheme@(guile-user)> (make <foo>)
$33 = #<<foo> 55ddef3b0680>
scheme@(guile-user)> (define-method (write (foo <foo>) port)
                       (display "hello" port))
scheme@(guile-user)> (make <foo>)
$34 = hello

Hope that helps,

- Dave
