Or end of line.  Elsewhere, where I use similar routines,
it is useful to be able to output an error/log message from
a tool for instance, which may be multiline.

In that case I prefer to keep the original formatting, but
prepend the name of the tool on each line.

That's why I did it this way, but I'll do whatever people here
tell me to.
