There *is* "stdout.rawWrite(...)" (ya gotta include the "stdout." part),
but unfortunately it doesn't come in "*ln", "*f" or "*fln" varieties.
And it should be the default.

I doubt there's a bugzilla entry for this since it is, unfortunately,
the intended behavior. I didn't want to go posting a 'zilla issue for
it before discussing here because I figured that might just end up
"INVALID" or "WONTFIX".
