Add cl-princ?
Use a function for `stream`?
Extend the print.c code to accept other kinds of streams?
Don't try to do it all within cl-print-object but use a separate
function on top of it?

The second option should work right now, except you can't easily
dispatch on them.  The problem with it is that it might prove slow (one
function call per character), but maybe we can fix this by changing the
print.c code so those function-valued streams can be called with
a string rather than with a single char.
