I've been wondering about this since String(reflecting:) came about, as plain print() is capable of doing about the same amount of reflection as debugPrint(). I don't want to get into the bikeshedding of it, but I'd really like to see printing String initializer get a verb label. It's pretty strongly against the API guidelines for initializers.
