| 22.4.25  *print-pprint-dispatch* | Variable |  
 
 Value Type:
a pprint dispatch table.
Initial Value:
implementation-dependent, but the initial entries all use a 
special class of priorities that have the property that they are less
than every priority that can be specified using set-pprint-dispatch,
so that the initial contents of any entry can be overridden.
Description:
The pprint dispatch table which currently controls the pretty printer.

*print-pretty*,
Section 22.2.1.4 Pretty Print Dispatch Tables
Notes:
The intent is that the initial value of this variable should
cause `traditional' pretty printing of code.
In general, however, you can put a value in *print-pprint-dispatch*
that makes pretty-printed output look exactly like non-pretty-printed output.
Setting *print-pretty* to true 
just causes the functions contained in the current pprint dispatch table 
to have priority over normal print-object methods;
it has no magic way of enforcing that those functions actually produce pretty
output.  For details, see Section 22.2.1.4 Pretty Print Dispatch Tables.
