Edit
- This function is a securecall/forceinsecure wrapper around the current print output handler function. Instead of attempting to replace it, you can set your own output handler function using setprinthandler(func).
- This function serves as a cleaner replacement from DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(); unlike which, it can safely be used to output nil values.
