Convenience is subjective, but the 3.x 'print' behavior is definitely
inconsistent (i.e. different from 2.x). The change makes a lot of my
code silently produce wrong results, too. I often print tuples to show
what a program is doing:
print (timestamp, 'transmogrified', blob)
which in 2.x prints a parenthesized tuple that I can later read back in
with eval. That line of code still prints a message, but in a different
format, instead of throwing an error.
