And, while I'm at it, why isn't there a built-in function called
"output()", which matches "input()", that is, it's equivalent to
import sys
sys.stdout.write(MESSAGE)
It could be easily implemented in terms of the built-in function
called "print". The fact that it's not there is going to confuse
the heck out of the same audience "input" was designed for.
I realize that there are good individual reasons for each of these
point decisions; my fear is that by making them individually, we make
the task of keeping Python in one's head unacceptably complex.
