Good addition to the proposal, actually. :-)
(Repeated for clarity: I'm in favour of the proposition for 'print'
only.)
If
print
prints a blank line, how are you going to access the "print" function
as an object?
Context: it's in a statement, on its own, just the name "print".
Yes, that's what I meant. Yes it's backward incompatible, and while one
sometimes puts an identifier
on a line by itself (I've done it myself) e.g.
try:
foo
except NameError:
<do something>
it must be rare to do that with 'print', especially outside the REPL.
An academic question at this point as Guido has withdrawn the proposal.
He's allowed to change his mind if there's enough support for it.
