- Going from statement to function?

Minor. For quickly adding debug prints, two extra ()s are a small burden, but if the function were called 'out', then there would still be just five keystrokes. Nick's output() convinced me that there are compensations to the function form. Besides, having used the argument of aesthetic consistency elsewhere, I can hardly deny it to you ;-).

I've added a bit to the wiki to look at different names that have been suggested.

Cheers, Nick.
