    Try (let ((print-circle t) (toto (list 2))) (prin1 (list toto toto)))

    In some cases, this is a good feature, but in many other cases it can be
    very confusing.

That is a good point.  So I guess it is better not to make this change.

How about binding print-length and print-level instead?
They could be bound to eval-expression-print-length, etc.
