terpri  &optional output-stream ⇒  nil
fresh-line  &optional output-stream ⇒  generalized-boolean
output-stream – an output stream designator. The default is standard output.
generalized-boolean—a generalized boolean.
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.
