Follow-up Comment #3:

Aren't there functions in the io package that don't depend on Java libraries?
For example, the statistics package depends on the io package, but only for
the cell2csv and csv2cell functions. I think there is definitely a case to be
made for package loading to be as simple and lightweight as possible,
regardless of the original symptom here of spam on stdout.
