[Openmcl-devel] format to a

[Arthur Cater]

Thanks Glen.

I've never looked at the innards of Format, but I assumed it bottoms out in calls
to stream-write-char, stream-write-string, and perhaps stream-terpri.
And these all turn into hi::insert-character and hi::insert-string.
So I'm puzzled about what does foul up the insertion point.
