OTOH, print's automatic space insertion is often the reason why I'll reach for it instead of stream.write(). Maybe we should be thinking of this differently. What on the surface appears to be many varieties of one use case, screaming out for TOOWTDI+options is really (at least) two use cases urging us to different solutions appropriate for the problem. I have no qualms with adding writeln() or writefmt() or whatever -- those seem like useful additions I'm sure I'd use. But I don't think that therefore (or under the principles of TOOWTDI or cleanliness) demands the removal of print. -Barry
