print question

Although the MacLisp printer took care to insert "newline"'s ocasionally,
I finally came to believe that PRINT was the wrong place to handle this.
I would think that it does need to be handled higher up than character I/O. I
would expect newlines to replace spaces between tokens, but not spaces embedded
within tokens, such as strings; otherwise you can't parse what you print. Or am
I missing something?
