  Although not strictly erroneous, you don't really know whether the
  argument list is modifiable and safe to modify.  I highly recommend

(apply #'write obj :pretty t args)

  as only the first occurrence of a keyword argument is used and any
  redundancy is just ignored.

| Alas, this the new version insists on printing pretty...

  Well, you _could_ empty the pprint-dispatch if *print-pretty* is nil
  upon entry to the function.  An empty *pprint-dispatch* is returned
  from excl::make-pprint-dispatch without arguments in Allegro CL.
