 The ``print`` command has been removed from :mod:`pdb`, restoring access to the
-``print`` function.
-
-Rationale: Python2's ``pdb`` did not have a ``print`` command; instead,
-entering ``print`` executed the ``print`` statement.  In Python3 ``print`` was
-mistakenly made an alias for the pdb :pdbcmd:`p` command.  ``p``, however,
-prints the ``repr`` of its argument, not the ``str`` like the Python2 ``print``
-command did.  Worse, the Python3 ``pdb print`` command shadowed the Python3
-``print`` function, making it inaccessible at the ``pdb`` prompt.
