Yes, I know what you mean, and I have a vague sense of puzzlement that
I always migrate back to print and warn (and, for that matter, that I
always end up back in vim rather than using a GUI IDE with project
management built in, etc etc). Probably a good topic for a
post-graduate thesis in cognitive psychology. Comments about my own
psychology will be ignored :-)
