Veeeeeeery complicated :)

Howe about this:

	(set! %repl-printer truncated-print)
	(set! %truncated-print-max-chars 72)

In the repl

	,repl-printer truncated-print
	,truncated-print-max-chars 72

Once set, the above would be used by error and raised exception 'printers', per
default imo, otherwise we could also have:

	(set! %error-printer truncated-print)

In the repl

	,error-printer truncated-print
