Print message to Info in Blender 2.8

Question

I feel like this should be easier to find. Aug '19, I've searched google and stack with no easy answers.

In Blender 2.8:

I'm looking for the code similar to Print("MY_MESSAGE") into the Info window. Obviously it's easy to use Print('...') into the System Console - sys console unrelated to this question.

I'm looking for any sample code I can literally copy paste into my Blender Text Editor window and run with results.

tldr: one-liner print shit to Info window, pls how?!

For all the lazy people, who don't like reading the API on how to register and call an operator:

import bpy

class RENDER_OT_test(bpy.types.Operator):
    """Tooltip"""
    bl_idname = "render.custom_test"
    bl_label = "Test"

    def execute(self, context):
        self.report({'INFO'}, 'Printing report to Info window.')
        return {'FINISHED'}

def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(RENDER_OT_test)

def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(RENDER_OT_test)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    register()

Run the script, press F3 to open up the search menu, type Testand press Enter.
