I lied ;)
In the nitty-gritty details, print() can act like a function, because
it will set a return value. So, this works:
$foo = print "Hello World!";
while doing the same with echo():
$foo = echo "Hello World!";
would NOT set $foo.
Although, to me they are synonyms! I can't imagine where I would use
that function-like behaviour of print().
