So is princ basically exactly like Browse in oz?

@dedudenamedjosh

Actually, princ is most similar to Show in Oz. This is because Browse will continually examine the value of each undetermined expression (as per an unbound variable). Show on the other hand will attempt to use the value of the expression immediately, pausing the current thread until that value is available if need be.

However, because Common Lisp does not natively support lazy evaluation (libaries available to do so, however), princ will error on unbound variables.
