What's wrong with commas anyway when using cat():
cat(x is ,x,' and y is ',y,'\n',sep='')
x is 1 and y is 2
and there's always sprintf() for those moments when you want

something like a functionconnection which works like a

This would allow running an external process that receives input

As the old saying goes, you can eat the cake and have it:
x - rnorm(1)
cat(x is close to , sprintf(%.1lf, x), and closer to ,
sprintf(%.10lf, x), \n, sep = )

With all due respect to the great book -- of which I own 2 copies I

such as Ruby or Python.
