> With the {{print()}} method printing on the client, the {{print(sourceIentified)}} method becomes confusing, as it has the same name, but prints on the taskManager (into its "out" files) and executes lazily.
> We should clarify the confusion by picking a more descriptive name, like {{printOnTaskManager()}}.
> I am not sure how common the use case to print into the TaskManager {{out}} files is. We could remove that method and point to the {{PrintingOutputFormat}} for that.
