Not that it matters much, but I'm pretty sure that the 'print'
library was done as part of an emulation library for writing
Plan 9-like tools.  That style of print (c.f. printf) started around
here when Andrew Hume wrote a new buffered I/O library for
Version 8 Unix.  The style continued through a couple of more
libraries and found its way into Plan 9.
