We may want to revisit this behaviour, by the way.
If you have a long string that barely happens to fit on a line with
"warning: " prefix in the original, your translation might want to
spell it in two lines, i.e.
warning(_("A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."));
which gives
warning: A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.<LF>
might want to turn into
warning("AA qquuiicckk bbrroowwnn ffooxx\n"
"jjuummppss oovveerr tthhee llaazzyy ddoogg.");
and currently gives:
wwaarrnniinngg: AA qquuiicckk bbrroowwnn ffooxx<LF>
jjuummppss oovveerr tthhee llaazzyy ddoogg.<LF>
But we may want to give
wwaarrnniinngg: AA qquuiicckk bbrroowwnn ffooxx<LF>
wwaarrnniinngg: jjuummppss oovveerr tthhee llaazzyy ddoogg.<LF>
instead.
Check out the way advice.c::advise() does its "hints: " prefix for
hints, but we probably would want to avoid anything that allocates
more memory in the die() codepath.
