IN and OUT template processors ?

[Remi Forax]

Hi all,
thinking a little bit about STR and FMT, I wonder if we should not introduce also two other template processors, IN and OUT.

IN is the input template processor, it asks a user for a string on the standard input
  String name = IN."what is your name ?";

It works like input (raw_input) in Python or scanf in C.


OUT is the output template processor, it prints a string to the standard output
  OUT."Hello World!"

It works like print in Python or printf in C.


I believe IN and OUT work quite well when combined with the unamed class syntax

  void main() {
      String name = IN."what is your name ?";
      OUT."Hello \{name}";
  }


IN and OUT can be real classes (IO.Input and IO.Output *) so they can be completed by adding several useful static methods, like IN.input(), IN.inputAsInt(), etc and OUT.println(), OUT.printf(), etc

regards,
Rémi

* with IO being a class that provides simple static methods for reading/writing files
