title: does rails have a 'response.write', want to do quick output from an action
body: <p>From <strong>within an action</strong> (not the view), I want to output some quick debug code.</p>
  
  <p>Does rails have a method for this?</p>
  
  <p>in asp.net I would do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Response.Write("hello");
  </code></pre>
