I think those uses of prin1 really call for some way to reliably print data
in a lisp-readable form. I.e. a variant of prin1 (or a way to tell prin1)
that ignores print-depth and friends and which signals an error when it
encounters an element that it can't print readably (e.g. a marker, a hash
table, ...).
This is a very complicated project, and I think that with
the added complexity it would be a change for the worse.
