I just yesterday had a long conversation on #lisp with Andy H about
this, which was very helpful.  At least for format-graph-from-roots, I
needed to explicitly call

change-space-requirements

We couldn't determine (well, Andy couldn't, and my attempt was
cursory) whether the spec required format-graph-from-roots to change
its stream's space requirements or not.

Best,
