A design choice had to be made and made it was. Adding another
function now (or worse, changing the existing ones) would only
bring more confusion for beginners and unconsistency to the
language. I firmly believe that no matter what your experience
you have having one and preferably only one way to do things is
more important to ease the learning process than having spaces
or not.
That's a nonsensical argument given the number of printing and
writing functions that exist.
