Wouldn't it be miles better to instead of un-teaching people from std::endl
and advertise '\n'
<https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#slio50-avoid-endl>
to have equally attractive alternative?

The point is - '\n' is not in any way beginner friendly as it is not an std
or build in "command"/object, but some alien symbol (to a new comer) like,
literally nothing else - it does not even look a single character.
Even for a non-beginner, some prefer typing std::endl as it is just simple
letters, not rarely used symbols (double colon, is not rarely used a t all)

Also, if we have a friendly new line alternative we could deprecate endl
and teach to new-line-and-flush-if-needed.
Without deprecating it, we might add confusion.

If the purpose is on teaching, than for sure special characters have to be introduced sometime.
Maybe teach this?

   const auto newline = '\n'; // constexpr maybe?
