The "old" print commands send their output to the log pane; the new "print" commands print to the console. This is a harmless situation. In fact, tab completion easily allows one to specify the desired print command, no matter how many new ones are added. The genius of tab completion is that one does *not* have to remember *any* commands, except how they start. So having 20 commands start with "print-" is really no big deal, even if the commands don't all "print" in the same way.
