`printOn()` always prints a newline. It's hard to make it not do that since it
relies on other `print` APIs, some of which print newlines and some of which
don't (in which case `printOn()` will print a newline). So I can't easily just
create a `printOn()` variant that doesn't print newlines, and printing two
newlines would introduce a bunch of blank lines in the output, which wouldn't
look good.
