print(::IO, x) outputs x in human-readable text form, while write(::IO, x) outputs x in non-human-readable binary form. However, writedlm(::IO, x) outputs x in human-readable delimited form. Should it be renamed to printdlm(::IO, x) in order to parallel the distinction between write and print?

Rename `writedlm` to `printdlm` to parallel `print` vs. `write`

If we made dlm part of the iocontext, we could just use read and write?
