Prints a null-terminated string located at address `str`.

If the string is longer than 255 bytes, then the behaviour is undefined (might even crash).

#### `void ensure_mixedcase()`

On targets that have separate all-caps and mixed-case modes (like most Commodore machines), switches to the mixed-case mode.

Initializes the random number generator state.

This may take a long time, even several frames, depending on the target.

|

Current implementation:
|
||||
|
||||
* On C64, spends two frames reading noise data from the SID chip.
|
||||
|
||||
* On Z80, reads the refresh register.
|
||||
|
||||
* On all other targets, sets the seed to 1.
