This is probably what I disliked most about Pascal - it presumes it
knows best what units of output you want to write at any one time - a
piece of a line or an entire line.  I feel this dates back to the
mainframe world (as does the rest of Pascal I/O), and I'd prefer not to
see this duplicated in perl...
