Yes to a point. Starting having multiple blocks like that, and your
added 2 lines per for really no reason.

I think a more ideal solution, less drastic to implement might be
allowing 2 arguments to be passed. So you could do like

elog "" "A blank line precedes this one"
elog "A blank line follow this one" ""

Then maybe if a argument = "" it can be swapped out for echo :)
