Debugging is right. Otherwise, you print nothing (or "" -- who knows?).
It's probably better to see 'nil' and have to toss up between print nil
and print "nil" (or print ["nil"], or whatever!), rather than never
seeing a thing and constantly guessing if you're perhaps seeing print
nil, "", [""], etc....
