set-type-printing-mode changes how Coalton renders ordinary type displays.

Syntax

(set-type-printing-mode ⟨mode⟩)

Semantics

  • mode must be one of :types, :aliases, or :types-and-aliases.
  • The setting affects displays such as type-of and other type strings shown by Coalton.
  • describe-type-of and describe-type-alias always print their alias-rich diagnostic view directly.
  • This is a Common Lisp REPL helper for inspection workflows.

Example

(set-type-printing-mode :types-and-aliases)
