It would be useful to have a version of print() that can output to a file, eg.

fprint("/tmp/whatever", "some message")

A nice bonus would be to also flush or close the file descriptors (closing the file after every fprint would be terrible for performance), eg:

fflush("/tmp/whatever")

fclose("/tmp/whatever")

And passing no parameters flushes/closes all open files:

fflush()

fclose()

The above example usage is more or less the model used by awk/gawk.
