if there is gonna be a statement called print, make it function.
so one day, we hopely can also add the target for printing.
file, pipe, network connection etc... even a printer.

I'll put my two cents in the basket for this one.
Something like:

Print("What", "How", "Where")
What = stuff to print like a word doc to a printer or var to the console.
How = C for console, P for printer.
Optional Where = Printer.

Code:

---

$rc = Print("C:\somefile.txt", "P", "\\server\printersharename")

---

or

Code:

---

$rc = Print($var, C)

---

Especially the printer part got me interested cause I had some shittie issues with the print and printto UDF's lately.

....
print(WHAT,optional WHERE)

if WHERE is omitted, WHAT prints on console.
if WHERE is specified, it says the target to output the stream to.
....

---

Hmmm.... When thinking about it this sounds much better.

BTW: So now people are starting to golf not just scripts but even suggested commands and/or functions. LOL

that brings to mind, writeline could act as print() if it would support other streams, not just files.

That would definately be my suggestion. Hang on, it was...
