I'd suggest renaming the current 'error_report' to 'message_report' and
making it take an extra arg that accepts a enum flag INFO | WARNING | ERROR.
Then add macros for error_report, warning_report, info_report that call
message_report with the right enum. That way you don't have to update any
of the existing code that calls error_report.

Daniel
