Selecting global or object print function

by

Indeed, NSView has a

func print(_ sender: AnyObject?)

method to open the Print panel, which is an unfortunate conincidence.

Your myPrint() wrapper has some limitations, for example 

myPrint("b", appendNewline : false)

does not compile. A better implementation would be

func myPrint<T>(o : T, appendNewline nl: Bool = true) {
    print(o, appendNewline: nl)
}

But you can simply prepend the module name “Swift” to refer to the global function explicitly:

Swift.print("xxx")
