Bruno Haible's CLISP system is a small and very useful Common Lisp
Implementation that implements most of CLtL1 and much of CLtL2. I have
used it in the past for many things, but the pretty-printer had the
displeasing habit of putting right parens on a line by themselves,
vertically aligned in reverse order to the matching left paren.

example:

(defun foo ()
(let (bar)
zot
) )

finally, I found out how to disable this abomination:

(setq *print-rpars* nil)

the above example will then prett-print as

(defun foo ()
(let (bar)
zot))

this has been a public service broadcast.
