\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
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.)
