I doubt it, because:
- the substitution of "Printfln" vs. adding "\n" saves *no* typing
- moving the "ln" to the beginning of the line moves the meaning ("new
line") away from the location where its meaning is intended. Go is all
about being explicit to avoid confusion.
- Printf - with fair regularity - gets used with "\n" sprinkled
throughout the format string, rather than just at the end (an unusual use
for Println), so that invites the question - why is the "\n" at the end of
the string special?
- The provided functions have a long history behind them.
