Pep 3105 breaks a *lot* of code, despite the bland assertion that most
production programs don't use print.
Presumably, Guido wanted to improve print in such a way that *more* people
would use it. But the effect of the pep is that *less* people will be able
to use print, *regardless* of how backward compatible Python 3.x is
'allowed' to be.
