%eclent; ]> In all situations where the rules are well specified, &ECL; prints objects according to &ANSI;. The specification leaves however a number of cases as implementation dependent behavior. The output of &ECL; in those cases is summarized in . Except for the types character and random-state, most of those examples regard non-standard written forms #<...> cannot be read back using read.
