It should be called from print_vectorlike (and any other places that
print unreadable objects, but I'm not sure there are any other places),
and should probably have a signature like
OBJECT PRINTCHARFUN ESCAPEFLAG
If it returns nil, the object should be printed as normal.
This can then be used to implement a `readablep' function (that would
bind this to a function that signals an error, and then catch that
error), and also to possibly make an alternative version of prin1 that
returns whether it printed something unprintable.
