21.2.19 terpri, fresh-line | Function
  Syntax: terpri `&optional` output-stream nil fresh-line `&optional` output-stream generalized-boolean Arguments and Values: output-stream -- an output stream designator. The default is standard output. generalized-boolean - a generalized boolean. Description: terpri outputs a newline to output-stream. fresh-line is similar to terpri but outputs a newline only if the output-stream is not already at the start of a line. If for some reason this cannot be determined, then a newline is output anyway. fresh-line returns true if it outputs a newline; otherwise it returns false. Examples:
       (with-output-to-string (s)
          (write-string "some text" s)
          (terpri s)
          (terpri s)
          (write-string "more text" s))
       "some text

      more text"
       (with-output-to-string (s)
          (write-string "some text" s)
          (fresh-line s)
          (fresh-line s)
          (write-string "more text" s))
       "some text
      more text"
  Side Effects: The output-stream is modified. Affected By: *standard-output*, *terminal-io*. Exceptional Situations: None. Notes: terpri is identical in effect to
       (write-char #\Newline output-stream)
Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
