Yes, you're absolutely right.  I'd thought he was looking for output whilst
debugging; I don't have any idea how I got that notion locked in my head.
Sorry.  Of course it's horribly inefficient.

While debugging, I don't care, and it involves virtually no source mods, 
so it's far easier to stick in as a temporary change.  But you wouldn't wanna
do it for a finished program.

Sorry for the confusion.  Some humility probably doesn't hurt me, anyway.
