Re: print with newline

Sara, where do I send pull requests? <?php function println(string $format, ...$args) : void { \vprintf($format . \PHP_EOL, $args); } function fprintln($stream, string $format, ...$args) : void { if (!\is_resource($stream)) { throw new \TypeError(\sprintf( "Argument 1 passed to %s expected to be a resource, %s given", __FUNCTION__, \is_object($stream) ? \sprintf( "instance of %s", \get_class($stream) ) : \gettype($stream))); } \vfprintf($stream, $format . \PHP_EOL, $args); } function sprintln(string $format, ...$args) : string { return \vsprintf($format . \PHP_EOL, $args); } Jokes aside, this is so trivially achievable in userland that there is no justification whatever for an internal function or functions, or constructs, or opcodes.
