Jean-Philippe Paradis (hexstream) wrote : The pretty-printer unconditionally prints the quote character of QUOTEd forms regardless of *print-level*

What I do:
(progn (write '''(''''foo) :level 1 :pretty t)
       (values))

What happens:
Output:
''(''''FOO)

What I expected to happen:
Output:
'#

Note that the following behaves correctly, so this is really a pretty-printer problem:
(progn (write '''(''''foo) :level 1 :pretty nil)
       (values))
Output:
(QUOTE #)
