Yes, the documentation is poor here, and I will update it once I figure out
what to do.

This is a different issue, and may require a new command. This will
break backwards compatibility if the message command suddenly stops
putting out the newline. The output of most cmake projects will be a
mess. Maybe:
MESSAGE([SEND_ERROR|STATUS|FATAL_ERROR] "message" [NO_NEWLINE])
