At least that disambiguates it.  Furthermore, if we replace "=>" with
"-->", while having ">" be interpreted as "attempt to print", then it
somewhat follows a common Lua/PiL convention.

Consider also this:

  > 1==1, "true", ""
  --> true    true

We may at times and at times not prefer it to instead be less ambiguous:

  > 1==1, "true", ""
  --> true, "true", ""
