Right, I also noticed eval-expression-print-format's docstring refers to
`prin1' which seems to be wrong.

Right.  Is it okay to have nested parentheses?  I use this quite often
when I write emails and such, but I have the idea it might be frowned
upon in more formal contexts.

+@code{eval-expression-print-maximum-character} (see below) allows it).

Yeah, I have a tendency to be overly terse.

+@code{eval-expression-print-maximum-character} prevents integers which
+are larger than it from being displayed as characters.
