Why is there no flush function in the kotlin.io? I think this is basic enough to be in stdlib.

Could you clarify when do you need to use

flush

in combination with

print

? Do you experience a situation when you print something, but the result doesn't appear because some buffer is not flushed?

As I am not sure about when the flushing happens in Kotlin, I would be glad to clarify that. I suppose it to happen in the same cases when it happens in Java. And there such necessity exists as there is such function.
