Unless you are doing multiple writes within a single procedure, you are
going to have to wrap each write in parameterize in order to get the
correct effect:

(parameterize ((print-graph #t)) (write obj port))

or use #f for #t.  Given all that verbosity, I'd just as soon have separate
write procedures.
