Bug description: Little error in echo's manual page
Description:
------------
There is a little error in "Example 1. echo() examples" block.
###
// Because echo is not a function, following code is invalid.
($some_var) ? echo 'true' : echo 'false';
// However, the following examples will work:
($some_var) ? print('true'): print('false'); // print is a function
###
The problem is that print is not a function. Its not really a matter of
"It doesn't work because its a language construct".
Here are the patches en+fr:
