what if we make slime-apply-macroexpander use swank-pprint (which currently binds print-circle to t and print-level to nil) and have swank-pprint bind the various pretty printing variables to swank-print-pretty, swank-print-circle, etc. then the user could have one set of printing variables for the repl and another when having slime print the output?

Sounds good. Perhaps we should name them swank-pprint-xxxx.
