If you bind print-unreadable-function to your own function (instead of just t), then the code will be easier to understand (and you'll be able to use whichever error you feel like, you can even use catch/throw if its more convenient). I think this special case of print-unreadable-function being bound to t is rather unnecessary. Stefan
