I think it would be fairly easy to print with `print-circle` by default
and allow users to click on the confusing #N= or #N# to switch to
a display without `print-circle`, but I'm not sure it would help the
confused users very much.
And doing the opposite (i.e. starting from the non-print-circle output)
seems a lot less obvious/natural :-(
