be called as console.print(string, number), the number will be interpretted
as the P_* mode flags value. Otherwise, all arguments are converted to strings
and printed (as before).
If anyone was calling console.print(string, number), they will get different
behavior now. I couldn't find any evidence of anyone using this syntax for
console.print(), so I think this should be okay.
Only a limited set of P_* flags are supported (e.g. P_PETSCII, P_UTF8) - far
fewer than console.putmsg(), but console.putmsg() is much more heavy weight
and supports a lot more "features" likely to interfere with the expected user
output. In general, try to use console.putmsg() only when printing multi-line
text strings or when @-code expansion is needed. Otherwise, console.print()
is usually better.
