I'm also not very enthusiastic about making stderr line-buffered -- when
exploring Emacs internals, I've sometimes resorted to putting
fprintf(stderr...) calls into the C code to see what's happening, and
while the normal thing to do is to have a \n at the end of those,
that may not be what other people in the same situation always do, and
we'll end up with frustrating people unnecessarily.
