No, they're very much alike. That's why all your arguments for print
as function also apply just as well to pass a function. Your arguments
had very little to do what what print actually did.

Except that print / print() is executable. Execution proceeds through
your code, comes to a "print", and goes off to handle that, then comes

should it be a function?
For consistancy with print. What it does doesn't matter any more than
what print did mattered.

My all time favourite engineering quote, from the UK Ptarmigan tactical
communications project, springs to my mind here regarding your comments
about the comparison of print and pass. "I might not be a mechanical
engineer, but that's fucking wrong".
