If you do go with the print solution, someone will eventually request something along the lines of PHP's output buffering functions[1] so they don't have to rewrite function A to use return instead of print when function B needs to somehow postprocess A's output. I'd guess that just ob_start() with no arguments, ob_get_clean(), and maybe ob_end_flush() would probably serve the majority. And then they will probably use it for efficient string concatenation, if standard Lua string concatenation is really that inefficient.
