Receives any number of arguments, and prints their values to stdout using the tostring function to convert them to strings.

print(e1,e2,...)

print is not intended for formatted output, but only as a quick way to show a value, typically for debugging.

Logs are sent to Gideros Studio when the app is a Gideros Player, and to system dependent logging facility otherwise (ie. Android logcat).

For formatted output, use string.format.

e2: (any) any second argument optional
