Code: writeln.py for playing

Arrgh, and thus we see the greatest danger of executable pseudo-code, you
forget and leave warnings in the code like the following:
	def writeln( *args, **namedargs ): # untested pseudo-code

When in fact it is fully functional and tested Python code that just happens
to share 75 or 80 percent of the lines of code with the original
pseudo-code.

Obviously the language needs to be redesigned to avoid this kind of error!
