The list is for storing a BNF grammar, sortof. It's a list of list of lists
and objects, and I want it to print nice. Determing types makes writing a
general recursive print function possible. If I could define how objects
'print', that would work too.

While we're on the subject of printing, is there a command like 'print' that
prints without a newline at the end?
