Yeah, that somehow counts :) That kidn of thing probably was the reason for
it being added.
However, remember that this form is very dangerous, as there are no
orderuing guarentees, so if you use it e.g. for logging, and you write to
log-lines, then they might end up in the wrong order, which is why it is a
rather bad thing to do :)

definitely, thanks for spotting it! (although, mixing those emulated
p* functions with other I/O is not going to work reliably anyways, but
afaics, those functions should be available everywhere now)
