I've always wondered why PHP didn't have a built in command or function that behaved as echo but with a EOL. I propose not to modify print or echo (as this was rightly pointed out to cause b/c). How difficult would it be to add a new statement and/or function to the PHP core called say / say() that has an EOL? This seems to me to be simple to do. The benefit is less code to type in user land (ex: say 'Hello World'; as opposed to `echo 'Hello World' . PHP_EOL;`
