Are you sure?  I thought so, too, but when I evaluated the following
program for computing the solution to the Towers of Hanoi problem with
"(hanoi 3)", the output from the "format" statement directed to
standard output that should have been sent to the REPL got sent to the
"*inferior-lisp*" buffer, instead:

Are you sure that "format" doesn't redirect output directed to
standard output to the "*inferior-lisp*" buffer instead of the REPL?
