title: Scala a better println
body: <p>I often find myself doing things like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>println(foo)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I'd like to do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>println foo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The compiler does not allow this.</p>
  
  <p>Also, println is a mouthful, I really just want to say:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo foo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, in a base package object I created the echo version of println:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def echo(x: Any) = Console.println(x)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Easy enough, have echo application wide, great. </p>
  
  <p>Now, how do I invoke echo without needing to wrap the Any to print in parens?</p>
