Yep, that's the sort of chunking that should definitely happen, if it
doesn't already.  What was the original output that sparked this?


(I notice "write" style string output in iprin1() always goes
char-by-char, it'd be nice if it scanned ahead for a char needing an
escape, to send the non-escape block as a single lfwrite.  Decent size
runs of plain chars are probably quite likely.)
