I would not be opposed to putting print() and println() back in the prelude,
but printf!() and printfln!() are not good names. Out format syntax does not
match printf(), and any attempt to use the name printf would only sow confusion.
Ultimately, though, I think things are fine as they are. In practice I haven't
had any issue with the requirement to say println!("{}", s) if I want to print
a variable. And most of the time it turns out I want to print more than just a
variable anyway.
