Is there a way to print things that are not ints or strings to stdout. In 
kool, for example, print(true) does not print to stdout. It gets placed in 
the out cell as ListItem(true), but I would like it to print. I even tried 
the following:


  rule toString(nil) => "nil"
  rule toString(true) => "true"
  rule toString(false) => "false"
  rule toString(I:Int) => Int2String(I)
  rule toString(S:String) => S

  rule <k> puts(V:Value, Vs => Vs) ; ...</k>
       <out>... . => ListItem(toString(V)) </out>       [print]
  rule <k> puts(.Exps) ; => .  ...</k>
       <out>... . => ListItem("\n") </out>              [structural, print]


but that places ListItem(toString(true)) in the out cell. The out cell is 
defined as

   <out color="brown" stream="stdout"> .List </out>

thanks for the help
