write, writef, etc. are all forwarding functions to stdout.write,
stdout.writef, etc. It's not that it doesn't require mentioning stdout,
it's that you have a shortcut defined.
Just like C has printf, and fprintf, we have both. But because this
isn't C, we don't need to change the name :)
flush as a standalone function is not supported at this time. I doubt it
will be.
