    I'd suggest perhaps just "pr_line()".

    And instead of having those "err/info/cont" variations, the severity
    level should just be set at initialization time. Not different
    versions of "pr_line()".

    There's no point to having different severity variations, since the
    *only* reason for this would be for buffering. So "pr_cont()" is kind
    of assumed for everything but the first.

    And even if you end up doing multiple lines, if you actually do
    different severities, you damn well shouldn't buffer them together.
    They are clearly different things!
