\keyword{print} evaluates each expression in turn and writes the
resulting object to standard output (see below). If an object is not
a string, it is first converted to a string using the rules for string
conversions. The (resulting or original) string is then written. A
space is written before each object is (converted and) written, unless
space is written before each object is (converted and) written, unless
the output system believes it is positioned at the beginning of a
line. This is the case (1) when no characters have yet been written
to standard output, (2) when the last character written to standard
output is \character{\\n}, or (3) when the last write operation on standard
output was not a \keyword{print} statement. (In some cases it may be
functional to write an empty string to standard output for this
reason.)
