The very limited pp.el can easily print hundreds of lines for what can
be beautifully put into dozens of lines. This makes the pp'd text hard
to read.
In the following example, pp would print nearly 300 lines while SBCL's
pprint only prints 50ish lines:
([1 ((env nil) (bound nil) (free nil)) ]
(([1 ((env nil) (bound nil) (free nil)) ]))
(([1 ((env nil) (bound (f tree)) (free nil)) ]

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately have not received
any responses yet.)
I see that SBCL's pretty-printer has its oddities, too -- the space
before the "]" and a newline at one point...
Anyway, `pp' prints arrays in pretty much the same way it prints lists,
and I think this makes sense, and it pretty readable. (If a bit
verbose.) So I'm closing this bug report as a "wontfix".
