That is precisely how the quick-and-dirty syntax of print statement
can
be justified. While debugging, you'll need to be able to quickly
add and
delete prints here and there, and the extra parens can quickly become
irritating.
actually, what I find is the following:
1) the parens are a bit more irritating than just a print
2) in my quick-and-dirty scripts, I often want to get rid of all of
the prints after it works.
3) being able to redefine print vastly outweighs the irritation
caused by the extra parens
