Prints its arguments
Prototype
print (a1, a2, a3, ...)
Description
Prints its arguments to stdout (or the output window in the case of MUSHclient, using world.Note), formatted by calling 'tostring'. Not intended for formatted output, but rather for debugging. Each argument is separated by a space.
print ("Hello", "world", 123, assert) --> Hello world 123 function: 02071C00
