#### 22.1.3.19 Printing Pathnames

When printer escaping is enabled,

the syntax `#P"..."` is how a pathname is printed by write and the other functions herein described. The `"..."` is the namestring representation of the pathname.

When printer escaping is disabled,

write writes a pathname P by writing `(namestring P)` instead.
