Hmm.
While I understand and even agree with the reasoning behind chomping
the line after a potentially long user-supplied argument, it
somewhat bothers me that the output of subsequent lines would begin
without the prefix.
Do we have any other multi-line die/error/warning message?
I am tempted to suggest doing something along the lines of the
attached, if we were to start using multi-line die/error/warning
like this one. Obviously we would need something similar on the
vwritef() side as well.
