🆕 "?" as shorthand for PRINT

Can any BASIC implementation really be a BASIC without the ability to use "?" as an alternative to the keyword "PRINT" ?

One of my goals includes the ability too easily, with few if not zero edits, get old BASIC programs running in BASIC Anywhere Machine.

The ability to recognise "?" as meaning "PRINT" not only helps in that goal, but also feels good for anybody who did any BASIC programming during the home computer revolution.
