Thank you. So what would be the practical reason why a developer would prefer:
(let ((name "JC"))
(prin1 "My name ")
(princ " is ")
(princ name)
(princ ".\n\n"))
over:
(message "My name is %s.\n\n" "JC")
when standard-input is not set to anything special?
(I'm almost copying the above code verbatim from a package in emacs.)
