Come on Jiri, we would still need the old one for the programs
already written that do stuff like this:

puts (1, "There is ")
print (1, 365.25)
puts (1, " in a year.")

so that it still prints like this:

There is 365.25 days in a year.

instead of like this:

There is 365.25  days in a year.
                ^
Notice the extra space.
