Gotta say that I think it's
(a) a nasty punctuation mess (don't we have *enough* of those already?)
(b) unnecessary (I don't get grumpy at typing `print')
(c) opening up more problems than it's solving
Given interpolation, here docs, print LIST, and (s)printf, I think
we have output really well covered. We don't need to save two or
three keystrokes, when we already save pages of keystrokes over other
languages with their:
stdout.print("this is the first part, "
.concat variable.value
.concat "."
.concat String.newline);
verbosities. I see >< losing readability and not winning us anything.
