I'd like a simpler way to end a print line with a newline than
appending
	, "\n"
to the print.  I looked at what it might take to make a naked
	\n
at the end of a print mean "\n", but a naked \n is treated as the
symbol 'n' -- not too promising.  And you can hardly use "/" as a
separator in place of "," to mean "add newline", as you do in Fortran.
Perhaps what I really want is to go back to Basic-Plus, where the
newline was implicit unless the print was ended with ";".
