    Please don't.  I use yow.el with a local file to print funny one-line
    error messages, i.e. what I do is

It doesn't make sense to keep the yow function in such a way

However, if we replace yow.lines with our own nonsequiturs, that would
be a fine solution (as I said before).  Please, people, go ahead.
