[[http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-38/srfi-38.html|SRFI-38]], a facility
for reading and writing objects with shared structure.

=== Author

[[Alex Shinn]], ported to Chicken 5 by Sergey Goldgaber

=== Documentation

See [[http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-38/srfi-38.html|SRFI-38 document]].

This implementation extends '''write-with-shared-structure''' to accept

will treat strings as normal (nonshared) objects even if repeated.

The utility `make-repl-support-shared-structure' is also provided to
support printing results at the REPL with shared structure.
