[This may have been answered already]
MacLisp "streams" had an operation which basically amounted to saying
"I want to output an n-character, unbroken sequence". By using this
rather internal operation, the PRINT function would insure that streams
with line-breaking capability didn't put the breaks at inappropriate
places. I guess this means that the PRINT function is still somewhat
involved.
