This is just a 'natural' English translation of OO syntax, thus:
file.print()
It clutters up the language to little advantage IMHO.
If file objects got a method that acted like the print
statement (foibles and all) then that would IMHO suffice.
BTW I'm astounded this dsiscussion is still going on from
when I lost contact over a week ago! :-)
