Summary:
Amid hundreds of amazing changes and additions to the stdlib, this change felt rather gratuitous. Rather than having 'print' and 'println' functions, whose conventions are well established, we now have a 'print' function that does the job of the old 'println', and takes a verbose optional parameter in order to emulate the behavior of the old 'print'. And we now have bugs like 18309853, in which trying to print a line to the console in an NSView subclass does something completely unexpected.

Please reconsider whether or not this change is a net positive or not for developer ergonomics.

Steps to Reproduce:
n/a

Expected Results:
n/a

Actual Results:
n/a

Configuration:
Xcode 7.0, all betas
