The docs tell differently:

ri IO.puts

Writes the given objects to ios as with IO#print.
[...]

ri IO.print

Writes the given object(s) to ios. The stream must be opened for
writing. If the output field separator ($,) is not nil, it will
be inserted between each object. If the output record separator
($\) is not nil, it will be appended to the output. If no arguments
are given, prints $_. *Objects that aren't strings* will be converted
by calling their to_s method.
