To pull this string a bit more, perhaps we could even tuck this away as a
static class IO in System?

import static java.lang.System.IO.*; // Implicit

println("Hello");
System.IO.println("Goodbye"); // Explicit

That would free the java.io.* namespace of the burden of having a name for
this thing which seems a bit out of place and awkward outside the context
of implicit classes.

(Disclaimer: I'm casually throwing out a thought here without much thought,
that's what bikeshedding is all about, right! :)
