I'm agnostic about whether it belongs in System or File or elsewhere,
but my "serious" webrev below puts it in System.

Please file bug + ccc.

This also fixes a warning in System.java,
makes printf a little faster, and fixes the SecurityException
in the java program below:

import java.security.*;

public class Println {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       Policy.setPolicy(new java.security.Policy() {
               public boolean implies(ProtectionDomain pd, Permission p) {
                   return false;
               }});
       System.setSecurityManager(new SecurityManager());
       System.out.printf("%n");
       String.format("%n");
   }
}
