[ROOT] TVector3::Print()

  Hi,

  A small detail:

  It looks like TVector3::Print() was recently given a real implementation, 
overriding the TObject base class implementation, but in the process the 
signature was changed from the base class in that the default argument was 
dropped. For consistency with other TObject derived objects could the default 
argument be added back? 

  (I assume that it is some C++ misfeature or compiler difficulty that such
a thing isn't an error. It does result in some strange behaviour in that
a.Print() fails to compile when is a TVector3, but the same object used 
through a pointer to the base class will compile and seems to get the default 
arg, but uses the overridden implementation.)

                                 thanks,
                                   Pete
