Description
We have die and warn which #1482 unifies screen output.
Everywhere in code, we seem to use echo "+++ Blah blah" as info. There is also +++++++" and variations on that. We could unify those and replicate warn and die, but without sleep calls
I suggest that we unify the codebase by adding non-sleeping `info` function which would prepend all text output with ` +++ blah` (with a space) to make it clear what output comes from Heads and what comes from tools Heads uses.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing die and warn functions and the echo-based output calls described in the issue. Review how those functions format and pause output, then determine the complete set of text-output sites that should use the new non-sleeping info behavior; done means Heads output has one consistent info prefix.
