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

Putting the wording into 2.7 might be nice, but I thought it was in bugfix only 
mode.

Regarding UNIX only, I'd avoid it; any file may be buffered in almost any way 
on any platform. Saying an explicit flush call may be necessary for immediate 
output is _not_ UNIX only and would be very misleading. Remembering that ~UNIX 
!= Windows.

Telling users to explicitly call flush to ensure immediate output where that is 
necessary ensures portable coding (or ought to, user pigheadedness discounted:-)
