Summary: Customisable printer for SRFI-9 records

Initial Comment:
Currently records are printed in a very ugly way. I
don't really care about that as such, but I'd like to
be able to customise record printing, at least for my
own SRFI-9 record types. Ideally, I'd be able to
customise the default record printer, as well, but
that's a less important issue.

Chicken provides:

(define-syntax define-record-printer
  (syntax-rules ()
    ((_ (record-type-name instance port) body ...)
     (<some means of installing the following lambda in
a table against record-type-name>
	    (lambda (instance port)
	      body ...)))))

Where "instance" and "port" are bound appropriately
during the execution of "body ...".
