That could work, if we added writeln() to all file-like objects.  One
advantage of extending print is that the write() method is already a
documented (and existing) interface.

    PP> or (with auto string-coercion):

    PP> log.writeln("Post to "+listname+" from "+sender+" size="+len(
    PP> msg ))

Isn't adding auto string-coercion a more radical suggestion than
extending print?
