Actually, I guess in this case we could easily do: warning("something"); warning("something else"); etc (the lines are fairly stand-alone, so I don't think it runs afoul of the usual translator-lego problem; not to mention that these aren't actually translated). I don't really care that much between that and the indented output, but if there's a preference, I'm happy to re-roll with that. -Peff
