println is missing

Reported by:	baxissimo	Assigned to:	kris
Priority:	normal	Milestone:	2.0
Component:	IO	Version:	0.99.5 Jascha
Keywords:	triage	Cc:

Description

The Print api should be made more orthogonal by including a println function.

Then you would have a nice grid:

             no nl      with nl
             ------     --------
plain     :  print      println
formatted :  format     formatln

status changed from new to assigned.
milestone changed from 0.99.7 to 2.0.

it's not there due to print() being aliased as opCall(), since there's no way to add an opCallln()

Not ideal, we know

given the above, I can't think how we could fix this

Y'know you could just /not have/ an opCall-like alias for println. I'm not sure where you even came up with the idea that println should have an opCall-like alias. It's quite an absurd argument. You might as well remove format() too, because it's kinda like print() and yet there's no opCallFormatted().

removing it would break a lot of code, and it came about due to ppl moaning about having to type ".format" ... shit happens :/
