Yes, but that would print eq objects differently between two
subsequent calls to print-unreadable-object, which probably would
confuse the user. I might almost as well print "0" for all object
identities.
Flushing somewhat less often (for some value of "less") would be good
enough, I think. It's not like all objects are in the hash table, so
the memory overhead isn't large.
