There at least needs to be some easily greppable way to distinguish between the
first line of an error and the continuation lines.  One easy way to do that is
to prefix every error with a sigil like "Error" "Warning" or "Information".

This makes it possible for IDEs to automatically take you to errors in your
source code and the lines they are on.  And if they're all prefixed with
"Error" vs "SomethingElse" then the IDE can also easily prioritize them so that
it takes you to errors first and Warnings etc later (or never).
