I have a suggestion for CL-WHO.
Currently, you can't just replace str with esc in your code, because while str does a princ, esc expects a string. I have code that passes numbers to str and wanted to do a wholesale replacement.
The manual says:
str: Forms that look like (str form1 form*) will be substituted with (let ((result form1)) (when result (princ result s)))
esc: Forms that look like (esc form1 form*) will be substituted with (let ((result form1)) (when result (write-string (escape-string result s)))).
I would suggest improving esc by performing a princ if the first argument is not a string.
--J.
Sounds good. Please send a patch against the dev version at bknr.net and I'll integrate this.

Thanks, Edi.
