I've always loved the Lisp Hyperspec* way of doing it. On the sample link below, you'll notice it demonstrates how to use the print functions by showing equivalent write functions. Almost all of the built in functions and macros are described this way, and some even provide practical code snippets - whichever happens to make sense for the given reference. * http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_wr_pr.htm#print http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_wr_p...
