Seems like The Right Thing would be to define something like this
macro:

  (defmaco with-pdf-io-syntax (&body body)
    `(with-standard-io-syntax
       (let ((*print-readably* nil))
         , at body)))

and then use it where appropriate. Then if it turns out that we also
want to bind some other printer control variable differently than
standard-io-syntax we just change the definition of this macro and
we're done.
