I think that's a quite reasonable thing to add to Base.  The only question I 
have is should it call errlogPrintf() or errlogPrintfNoConsole()?  My guess 
is the latter since the command should be printed out as it is being 
executed, but admittedly that won't include the expanded value of any macros 
used in the message string.  I guess it wouldn't be hard to provide both 
options though.

Thoughts?
