Are you sure Chibi doesn't conform?  I think that's changed.   I used Chibi Scheme 0.6.1, and it
*does* have a parameter to print only for circularity.  In fact, that's one reason I used
Chibi's implementation instead of the one in SRFI-38; the Chibi one is more efficient
and supports circularity detection (via an optional extra undocumented parameter).

Given:
  (define demo3 '(dosomething (a1 a2) (b1 b2) (c1 c2)))
  (set-car! (cdr demo3) (cadddr demo3))

neoteric-write-shared produces:
  dosomething(#0=c1(c2) b1(b2) #0#)

neoteric-write (aka neoteric-write-cyclic) produces:
  dosomething(c1(c2) b1(b2) c1(c2))

Am I missing something?
