Enable addition of local printers from a mode hook.

* doc/misc/ses.texi (Printer functions): Split the node into 5
sub-nodes + add some extra documentation.
(Various kinds of printer functions): Make an itemisation to
disintguish better the 3 types of printers, give an example of
lambda printer definition.
(Standard printer functions): Add documentation for ses-prin1
printer function.
(Local printer functions): Add documentation for creating
local printers programmatically from a hook.
(Writing a lambda printer function): Add documentation about
anti-stackoverflow precautions to take when you call the
standard printer functions from inside a local printer.

* lisp/ses.el (ses-standard-printer-functions): Add ses-prin1
among standard printer function, and update docstring
accordingly.
(ses-call-printer, ses-export-tab): Call `ses-prin1' instead
of prin1-to-string.
(ses-define-local-printer): Add definition to arguments so
that a local printer can be defined programmatically from a
mode hook.  Make docstring more substantial.  Use completing
read for local printer name input.  Plus some minor
optimization.
(ses-define-if-new-local-printer): New defsubst.
(ses-center, ses-center-span, ses-dashfill)
(ses-dashfill-span, ses-tildefill-span): Allow to pass printer
as an optional argument to superseed column printer/default
spreadsheet printer.

@subsection Various kinds of printer functions
When configuring what printer function applies (@pxref{Configuring
what printer function applies}), you can enter a printer function as
one of the following:
@itemize
@item
A format string, like @samp{"$%.2f"}. The result
string is right-aligned within the print cell. To get left-alignment,
use parentheses: @samp{("$%.2f")}. A printer can also be a
one-argument function (a symbol or a lambda), whose result is a string
(right-aligned) or list of one string (left-aligned). While typing in
a lambda, you can use @kbd{M-@key{TAB}} to complete the names of symbols.
use parentheses: @samp{("$%.2f")}.

A printer can also be a one-argument function, the result of which is
a string (right-aligned) or list of one string (left-aligned). Such a
function can be in turn configured as:
@itemize
@item
A lambda expression, for instance:
@lisp
(lambda (x)
(cond
((null x) "")
((numberp x) (format "%.2f" x))
(t (ses-center-span x ?# 'ses-prin1))))
@end lisp
While typing in a lambda, you can use @kbd{M-@key{TAB}} to complete
the names of symbols.

Sometimes there are local printers that you want to define or
re-define automatically every time you open a sheet. For instance
imagine that you want to define/re-define automatically a local
printer @code{euro} to display a number like an amount of euros, that
is to say number @code{3.1} would be displayed as
@code{3.10@dmn{}@euro{}}. To do so in any non read-only SES buffer,
you can add some code like this to your @file{.emacs} init file:
@lisp
(defun my-ses-mode-hook ()
(unless buffer-read-only
(ses-define-local-printer
'euro
(lambda (x)
(cond
((null x) "")
((numberp x) (format "%.2f€" x))
(t (ses-center-span x ?# 'ses-prin1)))))))

@subsection Writing a lambda printer function
You can write a printer function with a lambda expression taking one
argument in two cases:
@itemize
@item
when you configure the printer function applying to a cell or column, or
@item
when you define a local printer function with command
@code{ses-define-local-printer}.
@end itemize
When doing so, please take care that the returned value is a string,
or a list containing a string, even when the input argument has an

s-expression (using @code{ses-prin1}), centered and surrounded by
@code{#} filling.
@end itemize
Another precaution to take is to avoid stack-overflow (due to a
printer function indefintely recursively re-calling itself). This can
happen mistakenly when you use a local printer as a column printer,
and this local printer implicitely call the current column printer, so
will call itself recursively. Imagine for instance that you want to
create some local printer @code{=fill} that would center the content
of a cell and surround it by equal signs @code{=}, and you do it this
way:
@lisp
(lambda (x)
(cond
((null x) "")
(t (ses-center x 0 ?=))))
@end lisp
Because @code{=fill} uses standard printer @code{ses-center} without
passing explicitely any printer to it, @code{ses-center} will call the
current column printer if any or the spreadsheet default printer
otherwise. So using @code{=fill} as a column printer will result in a
stack overflow in this column. SES does not make any check for that,
you just have to be careful. For instance re-write @code{=fill} like
this:
@lisp
(lambda (x)
(cond
((null x) "")
((stringp x) (ses-center x 0 ?= " %s "))
(t (ses-center-span x ?# 'ses-prin1))))
@end lisp
The code above applies the @code{=} filling only to strings, it also
surrounds the string by one space on each side before filling with
@code{=} signs. So string @samp{Foo} will be displayed like @samp{@w{===
Foo ===}} in an 11 character wide column. Anything else than empty cell
or non string is displayed like errouneous by using @code{#} filling.
