Another feature request (was 'crash_file')

What I'd like to see is the ability to pass multiple file handles to
output routines, puts(), print(), etc. So I could print information to
a file and the screen at the same time. Take this for example:

constant debug = 1    -- set to 1 to send debug information to a file

object out
    out = 1    -- send to screen

    if debug then
        out &= open("debug.out", "w")    -- send to debug.out too
    end if

    -- just do this:
    puts(out, "information")    -- only one call to puts!

    -- insted of this:
--  puts(1, "information")
--  puts(out, "information")

    if debug then
        close( out[2] )
    end if

if good( idea ) then
    my += 0.02    -- two more cents
else
    blame( too_much_caffiene & RedBull )
end if
