Do you have a better idea?  I could only come up with another set of
tracing macros like `FT_TRACEC[0-7]` ('C' for continuing) that don't
emit a final newline.  This would imply *a lot* of (mostly mechanical)
changes in the source code.  It wouldn't really uglify the source
code, though, but I think a solution that doesn't necessitate this
distinction is preferable since easier to use.
