Well, this is true and it isn't... In the case of: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
ewarn line one |
| 9 |
eblank |
| 10 |
ewarn line two |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Obviously it would be the same as ewarn. However, what about here: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
ewarn line one |
| 15 |
eblank |
| 16 |
elog line two |
| 17 |
eblank |
| 18 |
einfo line three |
| 19 |

I'm not sure how you could make a function like that smart enough to |
| 21 |
really know what to do... so perhaps since the author is the only one |
| 22 |
who can really know what colour they intend, they should just use the |
| 23 |
appropriate ewarn/elog/einfo without args. |
