At least GNU echo interprets backslashes in its arguments.
This triggered at least one bug: the error message of "rebase -i" was
turning \t in commit messages into actual tabulations. There may be
others.
Using "printf '%s\n'" instead avoids this bad behavior, and is the form
used by the "say" function.
