The characters of the string are output in order.
If printer escaping is enabled,
a double-quote is output before and after, and all double-quotes and single escapes are preceded by backslash. The printing of strings is not affected by *print-array*. Only the active elements of the string are printed.
For information on how the Lisp reader parses strings, see Double-Quote.
