I don't doubt that. However, it doesn't work in the CC Mode test suite,
whereas send-string-to-terminal does. Or, rather, did.
I suspect Barry Warsaw, the original author of 000tests.el, tried princ
at first, couldn't get it working, and then put send-string-to-terminal
in in its place. Or, possibly, wrote send-string-to-terminal for that
purpose. It was a long time ago.
Thanks for the suggestion anyhow.
