Well, this is true and it isn't... In the case of:

  ewarn line one
  eblank
  ewarn line two

Obviously it would be the same as ewarn.  However, what about here:

  ewarn line one
  eblank
  elog line two
  eblank
  einfo line three

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