Hello

The default printer uses an output format which uses #< > with the structure name and serial number, like:

values

#<procedure #776 values>

Is there a way to read (or parse) that format back in? I've played with readtables but could not get |read| to understand it.

I'm asking (this time) because I want to clean up the output of the 'expansion compiler option, so that it can be diff'ed (remove the :numbers from the symbols etc.). Or is there a better way printing the expansion (so that it doesn't contain those numbers in the first place)?

Thanks Christian.
