produces an error (does not exist), and 'fflush()' seems to be
for file
use, not for writing to a screen (stdio).
Please, how do I force a flush to stdio?
writef is a shorthand for stdout.writef because stdout is
actually a FILE, so stdout.flush() should work.

I tried this but got:
"No property 'flush' for type '_iobuf'"
Sorry but please note I also posted to the GDC forum - the
non-return from the anti-spam delay made me think this posting
had failed.
