I'm pretty unexcited about that. Quite a bit of churn and adding
another precedent that we currently have no good way to enforce or
maintain.
In addition to that, puts() is a fairly seldom used function, which
perhaps is because it's a bit quirky and appends a \n to the end of
the string. I'm just imagining all the bugs where we append an extra
newline. But, feel free to open another thread about it and see if you
can drum up any support.
