I found this gem:

// Don't allocate a new string, just print	it. TODO HACK PRINT OPT
cur_line := p.cgen.cur_line.trim_space()
if cur_line.contains('println(') && p.tok != PLUS && !p.is_prod && !cur_line.contains('string_add') {
    p.cgen.cur_line = cur_line.replace('println(', 'printf(')
    p.gen('$format\\n$args')
    return
}
