Details
This function serves as a cleaner replacement from DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage().
Each argument given is printed separated by a space from the previous one.
Unlike DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(), print() will allow the output nil values to the chat frame without causing an error message.
print() was added in 3.0.2 (8926)
