Summary: Auto println in interactions window

Initial Comment:
Many times the interactions window is used to examine
the correctness of data returned by a method.  As such,
I think it would be useful for the interactions window
to “auto System.out.println” any value that is returned
by a method but not caught by an assignment.  For
example, currently, if I want to examine the toString()
of an integer I must type:

Integer test = new Integer();
Sytem.out.println(test.toString());

However it can be cumbersome to have to type
“Sytem.out.println” for every command while interacting
with a class, why not allow:

test.toString();

to result in the toSting() being printed to the
interactions window?  I would aruge though that the
information should not be printed to the console
windows without an explicit System.out call.
