This lisp expression:

  (format t "~r~%~r~%~r~%~r~%~r~%" 1 15 91283 4918239 2147483647)

What does that really mean, and how would I find out? What would happen if I used only four "~r~%" sequences instead of five? What about i18n? This looks very obtuse to me, and I would consider it a mark *against* lisp. I'd much rather use a function with a name like "spell_int" than a series of symbols. Is your syntax actually helpful in some way I'm not seeing?
