## Miscellaneous functions for outputting via message()

### Description

Miscellaneous functions for outputting via message(). These "m*" methods work analogously to their corresponding "*" methods `print`(), `cat`(), `show`, `str`, and `printf`() but uses `message`() to output the content, which in turn outputs to standard error. The `mout()` method can be used for all other output methods, e.g. `mout(write(x, file=stdout()))`.

### Usage

    mout(..., appendLF=FALSE)

### Arguments

`...` | Arguments passed to the underlying output method.
`appendLF` | A `logical` specifying whether to append a newline at the end or not.

### Value

Returns what the `message`() returns.

### Examples

      print(letters[1:8])
      mprint(letters[1:8])

      cat(c(letters[1:8], "\n"))
      mcat(c(letters[1:8], "\n"))

      str(letters[1:8])
      mstr(letters[1:8])

      printf("x=%d\n", 1:3)
      mprintf("x=%d\n", 1:3)
