That is not a conclusive argument, just a sketch. Please fill in the
gaps so we can see how valid that argument is.
The issue at hand is that defining a record called 'hashtable' or 'integer'
can alter how built-in types print.
If someone uses 'hashtable' or 'integer' as the name in cl's defining
or eieio's defclass, would that alter how built-in types print? If not,
then they are not pertinent to the issue.
