## Notes

- `print` will not automatically wrap lines, and continuous output will be spliced directly.
- The parenthesized and unbracketed forms have the same semantics.
- Use `println` when automatic line wrapping is required.
- When `empty` is actively output, it will be displayed as `empty` to facilitate troubleshooting of missing values; JSON serialization will still output `empty` as `null`.
- `print` is a language output statement, not a system function that can be called dynamically through `call()`.
