Strings don't always display a strings #7

A string, by itself, displays as a string, but when part of a more "complex" display it is displayed as you'd expect a symbol would be displayed.

Eg:

ecmachine:/ guest$ "Foo"
"Foo"
ecmachine:/ guest$ (cons "Foo" "Bar")
(Foo . Bar)
ecmachine:/ guest$ (car (cons "Foo" "Bar" ))
"Foo"

Good catch. Try it now.
