Ah, sorry, I realize now that I misunderstood what you were using "atom"
to refer to -- you're talking about browsing calls at call/exit/redo/fail
ports.
I still think the use of the word "atom" is misleading,
but "closure" or "higher-order term" wouldn't have the right meaning.
Maybe it's best to talk about browsing calls, rather than
printing atoms.
