Print Statements

Print statements use the print operator : to print a series of AtonementCrystal values to standard output. A print statement is a series of print expressions. Each print expression is defined by a : followed by an expression that resolves to an AtonementCrystal. Print statements are then optionally terminated by a final : which then prints a newline at the end of the other printed values.

A print statement may also be a single : with nothing else. Which then simply prints a newline to standard output.
