The gawk manual's "print" node doesn't say why one can't use "print" in the
PATTERN portion:
gawk-3.1.0 '1 && print "wow" && 1{print}'<<!
mom
!
gawk-3.1.0 '(a=m $1 && (print a > "/dev/stderr")&& a ~ "mom")'<<!
wwww
!
An error is triggered at "print".
Let's say I want to print out some debugging info right then and
there... do I have to "hold it in till we get to the next rest area"? :-)
