I'm in the midst of doing quite a bit of shell/command line 
stuff with PHP, and I think it would be kind of useful to 
have a println construct, much like in Java or a number of 
other languages. println is identical to print, but a 
newline/carriage return is appended to the output. 

I know I could just write function in PHP or even a 
function in an extension to provide the same functionality, 
but it might as well be in the language itself, if only 
because it may be used often enough to warrant inclusion. 
(I know I'd use it all the time.) 

I started trying to add it myself (I can see that it would 
go in the Zend engine, correct?) but after reminding myself 
that I've never used Lex before (nor really looked at the 
Zend code) I decided that this would be best left to 
someone who actually knows what they're doing when it 
comes to the Zend engine.

The only problem I can think of is portability, 
specifically the oft-cursed differences between OS newline 
sequences. (Is it \n? \r\n? \n\r? Dammit?!) Doesn't seem 
like a huge issue, though, does it?
