title: How to write to stdout/stderr with .NET Standard 1.1
body: <p>Building a .NET library and want to target .NET Standard 1.1 for compatibility.  I have it building and something basic running, but I can't figure out how to write to the console(!).  Trying to use System.Console.Write gives an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Console' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have <code>using System</code> and the code works fine if I target <code>.NET Standard 1.3</code> or later.</p>
  
  <p>.NET Standard 1.1 <strong>does</strong> have the ability to write to the console, right?!</p>
