[Sbcl-devel] Print-unreadable-object: spurious newline?

[Tony M. <to...@te...>]

In %PRINT-UNREADABLE-OBJECT, SBCL outputs a conditional newline (of
:fill type) when separating the body from the type or the identity
data.  

The CLHS (under PRINT-UNREADABLE-OBJECT) only specifies that a space
will be printed, not a space and a newline.  This extra newline makes
it hard (impossible?) to indent the object's body with respect to the
type/identity data.

For example, I was aiming for:

    #<TYPE-NAME ...
                ...
                ...>

but instead get:

    #<TYPE-NAME
      ...
      ...
      ...>

What would others think about flushing this newline?
