This check is about newlines in format strings.  Both the FOO_report()
and the FOO_vreport() take format strings.  Therefore, keep
error_vreport() and add warn_vreport(), info_vreport().

Need a sentence on @report_type right here.  Perhaps

    * @report_type is the type of message: error, warning or
    * informational.

You missed one :)
