I'm stunned, I'm gabberflasted, I'm a Bonehead.
Here we have a new keyword that isn't a keyword, that might as wel be
used for that hidius print hack, but in that context it was deemed
impossible. So what am I missing? (or are we being fooled:)
To me
>>> print as some_file, whatever
looks much better then
>>> print >> some_file, whatever
So why was it rejected?
Because it stand out less?
