But presumably it wasn't called 'indirect object notation' back then?
Sure it was. Larry is a linguist, and he saw the filehandle as being the 'indirect object' in a sentence in which print/printf is the verb and some data are the direct object. Give Mary the cup printf STDERR $data; If you look at those two as if you were a linguist, you'll see their common structure.
