Cameron Simpson <c...@zip.com.au> added the comment:

I'm against ignoring a flush failure. What happened to "errors should never 
pass silently"? IMO, if we get as far as calling flush and having an exception 
occur, a "more interesting error" hasn't yet occurred.

I really dislike things that fail silently. If the caller asks print to flush, 
and the flush fails, the caller's request has not been met. The caller needs to 
know or incorrect behaviour can ensue.
