Unlike car/cdr terpri has a terrible name and not used as often. Many
people forget its existence and simply use `print' or `write-char'.
Folding fresh-line into terpri can be done but then we have a bad name
with long and potentially confusing doc-string. I think it helps keep
them separate for clarity. WDYT?
