I feel like I must be misunderstanding what you're trying to say here, because I *think* what you're trying to say is that `TextOutputStream.write(_:)` is what decides whether to add the terminator, which is not only totally wrong (see https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/adc54c8a4d13fbebfeb68244bac401ef2528d6d0/stdlib/public/core/Print.swift#L260) but doesn't even make any sense since there's a terminator parameter on `print` but none on `write(_:)`. -- Brent Royal-Gordon Architechies
