[Bug translator/4591] println function

I think it would be easy to generalize this into a set of print variants that
should cover just about anyone.  I propose adding two new suffix variants to
print-like statements: 'd' for delimited, and 'ln' (or perhaps just 'n') for
including a newline.  With 'd', the first parameter must be a string literal
that will delimit the rest of the arguments.  With 'ln', a newline is appended.
 Bare print() and sprint() would be extended to allow multiple arguments, which
just get printed one-after-the-other.

So the complete list of print statements would be:
  print, sprint, printf, sprintf, printd, sprintd,
  println, sprintln, printdln, sprintdln

We have a special case of print(@hist_*) -- I'll leave that as-is.

Any comments?  If there are no objections, I will implement this...

Josh
