Yup -- I don't think there's a bug here. The standard Emacs
eval/printing commands aren't affected by the cl print definitions, but
instead uses a slew of different things to DWIM the printing, and we
can't change that.

I don't think anything in our documentation (as far as I know) should
lead anybody to think that doing something in cl-print should affect
`C-u C-x C-e', so I'm closing this bug report.
