I don't think I would agree that #:transparent is the problem here; #:transparent means "yes, anyone can use the reflective properties to discover how many fields this structure has, what the mutators are, etc."  It's not fundamentally about printing.

So I think that a separate control on printing is definitely the right way to go, and in particular, the ~.s choice seems like it might just solve the problem completely.

No?
