What about an optional print output cue such as:
100 NB. Normal precision
100
100x NB. Extended precision
100x
1 = 1 NB. fixed to boolean
1b
And so forth. Then the session parser could be programmed to parse the
cues and set colors if one wanted. Also, since the cued display is
optional, it could be turned off at any time. Beginners could get the
cues, experienced users could turn them off.

Rather than tacking more stuff onto the session output
window, perhaps there could be a "information on the
last result" window. It would display things like:
- noun/verb/adverb/conjunction
- if noun,
- the internal type
- rank
- shape
- # elements (*/shape)
- ": representation as well as linear, boxed, etc.
- number of bytes
etc.
