it's not on purpose;  it is a bug that has been fixed even in 0.65.0

Btw, print(.) itself adds a new line;
 but then, why use print() at all?  it is *the default function* 
 { as long as the object hasn't been  invisible()ized },
i.e.
	date()

should be what you want (once you use 0.65.0 or newer..)
