Default "print" to output to console

[sasumner]

Currently a "print" statement executed during the running of a script will cause text to be inserted into the current document at the caret location. I find that "print" is better used for showing debug messages in the PS console window, and editor.insertText() the preferred method for text insertion into the current document.

Any objection to setting up "print" to output to the PS console window right out of the box?

Is anyone in the habit of using "print" to insert text into a document? If this is "ingrained" into many people's brains to do it this way, then I retract the suggestion.

This was the first thing which confused me as well and I changed it instantly.
I vote for setting sys.stdout = console per default.

Seems reasonable also to me.
@bruderstein Do we miss anything? Is there a hidden reason why print is used to write to the current document?

Can this move forward without a @bruderstein answer?
