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.
