Description

Currently, CE_CONT does two things. It logically continues another message, without appending a newline so it can be continued further, and it displays a message which is merely informative.

These two different meanings leave us constantly having to add (or remove) newlines from the messages it prints as people forget about these quirks.

We should have a CE_INFO for printing informative messages, terminated by a newline like all the others, and use CE_CONT only for continued messages (which as cmn_err(9F) helpfully tells you, isn't even guaranteed to do what you're hoping in the first place).

No data to display
