Well, I know Python, being very quick to write in, makes this awfully
easy. But I still thing people would use

import sys
sys.writeln("hello", first_name, last_name+",")

rather then

def writeln(*args, **kws):
	...
writeln(...)

<wink>

Actually, I'm beginning to think we need a utils.py module for this,
and the cool generator stuff. If we decide we need this in the builtins,
the builtin module could do the equivalent of "from utils import *"
