Function   Behavior

print      prints all arguments; formatting of arguments is implementation-specific
println    like print but prints spaces between arguments and a newline at the end
</pre>

<p>
Implementation restriction: <code>print</code> and <code>println</code> need not
accept arbitrary argument types, but printing of boolean, numeric, and string
<a href="#Types">types</a> must be supported.

- Kubeadm: improve the strict parsing of user YAML/JSON configuration files. Next to printing warnings for unknown and duplicate fields (current state), also print warnings for fields with incorrect case sensitivity - e.g. `controlPlaneEndpoint` (valid), `ControlPlaneEndpoint` (invalid). Instead of only printing warnings during `init` and `join` also print warnings when downloading the ClusterConfiguration, KubeletConfiguration or KubeProxyConfiguration...
