bug#70868: 30.0.50; pp--insert-lisp prints small integers as characters

[Michael Heerdegen]

Hello again,

I have committed our fix now and close this bug report since we are
done.  Thanks to everybody.


While I was at it I found a branch in the algorithm where we printed an
arbitrary non-list cons using `prin1' for no reason.  Since we have
everything in pp to pretty-print any list and cons, I fixed that:

Subject: [PATCH] Don't let pp fall back to prin1 for conses

* lisp/emacs-lisp/pp.el (pp--insert-lisp): Don't `prin1' non-list
conses; use our pp function for cons and list printing
`pp--format-list' instead.
